You can get Mac SE's used for under $10 usually. These can have ethernet
cards installed, makes a great terminal with datacomet or bettertelnet.
I've got an SE/30 I use as a packet sniffer with Etherpeek. Or just toss
linux on one (The SE/30, SE's won't run linux)

Subject: Old Macs = cheap terminals
An idea for who use classic computers: since we usually require plenty
of terminals to attach to our classic computers, those compact Apple
Macs, such as the 512K or SE, found in more plentiful supply than
terminals at hamfests, have one very good use: use them as terminals
running terminal emulation software. While other microcomptuers such
as IBM type toy PCs are also useful as terminals for computers, the
old Macintoshes consume less electicity.
