I needed a Linux box that was stable and not being used for anything else,
and they had the images on the web already set up. All I needed was a
Phantasy Star Online CD and broadband adapter, which I had, and you can load
the Linux system into it that way. I think it has some 40MB of memory, and
the disk image size is 1gb. You netboot it via a remote UNIX system, in my
case my Sun Netra T1 200.
This is all just to have a DECnet bridge to get on HECnet. Who knew
Nintendo was the one to provide it? :)

Heh, it'll be the only way I get on until I
get my home systems
situated with a working DECnet-over-IP solution.
Stupid GameCube won't run DECnet cause it's not built into
the kernel
:p (haven't tried Johnny's bridge on the
cube yet, that's
next on my
list)
You're running Unix on your Nintendo Gamecube?!?! OK, you've
got me interested, why, and what is it doing?
