   i was just yesterday looking at single-board-computers with authentic intel   
   386 cpus, dos in firmware, network interface and compact flash. it would be   
   possible to go old school with a little novell network or something and not   
   totally eat it in electric costs. there are even hardware serial to telnet   
   devices that pretend to be a modem..   
      
   unfortunately they're around $300/ea and the novelty wears off pretty quick if   
   you wanted more than maybe two nodes..   
      
   ... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.
