As long as the cable TV modem is not being disturbed, this link should last for a while :

http://82.131.23.39/

It's a Pentium system... nothing special. I thought it would be a C64 or something.

This computer could be more useful if it run on FreeBSD.

FreeBSD does not run DOS games, not on such a system, not with playable speed

In topic context I meant web services, not games.

I was half expecting this to be you having built an Ethernet interface for the MD and running a small webserver on one
