Are you sure that he isn't asking about the x86-based non-upgradeable
boxes with built-in Ethernet?

Actually, I think that there was a company that ported one of the IBM
mainframe OSes to PC hardware.  Maybe it was the System/38 stuff
though.

If you got a wireless CDPD modem and paid $60/month for unlimited
access, then you could SSH to anything and fool people into thinking
you had done it locally, even a Beowulf cluster... "yeah, I factored a
Mersenne prime, here, watch me do it again..."
