I run a sparc IPX with NetBSD as my firewall. I use the serial console
so that I don't have to have a big non-multisync monitor and/or extra
keyboard/mouse pair sitting on my desk. The box is plenty fast enough
for a firewall and it sits there running quitely month after month, quite
happy. It is on a UPS:-)

Those are nearly at
"haul
them
away" status, but they take SCA connector drives internally, have a
short CD-ROM bay, etc.
There is a suns-at-home list that people with personal SPARC hardware might
consider joining. General information about the mailing list is at:

Well, If I ever find an LX or Classic or Sparc5 at haul it away
prices I'll laugh all the way home to my CD collection.
I've been unable to find them cheap enough around here. (NJ)
My department still ran Sparc5's and 20's at Lucent last year.
