[rescue] What to do with an IPX?

[Jonathan C. Patschke]

Hello, world,

     I had a not-so-small job (logfile maintenance for an entire site) for
a small box (SPARCstation LX w/ 48MB of RAM) to do.  From the postings on
sun-rescue as of late, I decided to take NetBSD for a spin, as it sounded
a lot more lightweight than Solaris or Linux.

     So, I finished the installation, and thinking "Wow.  That's it?".
Seriously, that's the easiest (and fastest) install I've done since
roughly the SunOS 4 days[1].  Not to mention that it -hauls- -ass-.  I had
to do it again!

     I piddled around the office until I found enough parts to slap
together a SPARCstation IPX, 28MB of RAM, and a half-gig hard drive.  Now,
I've got this tiny SPARCstation, with supported audio hardware[2] running 
NetBSD.  What in the world can such a tiny box be used for?

    Maybe just having it sit in the rack and say "Ping"[3] on the hour and
half-hour would be sufficient. :)  Ideas?
