Iggy,
I have some HP-HIL keyboards. Contact me off-line if you still need one.

In what way it's braindamaged ?
It won't use a serial console, unless told so via a HIL keyboard. If I had a
HIL keyboard, I would not need a serial console.

Without getting into details it's an
interesting experience trying
to get a netblock these days. Most likely you can lease a /32 for
kazillion bucks a month. RIPE isn't softening up with IPv6 however,
if you want a block of your own you need to be peering with three
other providers. Life's hard.
I really object to how everything costs and arm and a leg on today's net.
Unless it's financed via ads and popup windows, which is no better.

I love NFS as much as the next guy but if you
start adding stuff
like NFS, why not have vnodes (well, you better have!) and once
you have vnodes why not start supporting different file systems...
A bit much for a PDP :)
Why not support different file systems? And what is a vnode?
So choice is good. My current testing gateway to
the internet is a
486-75MHz, 8/500MB with NetBSD-1.5 and Lucent WLAN card.
The basestation is somewhere within 1 km. I'm rambling, better stop.
I've got some metres of "broadband" above my door. One day, it will go into
my
flat. OTOH, I don't see any reason to use all that fancy firewalling or NAT
stuff.
To get back to classiccmp, I'm going to check
out a pile of Altos
machines tomorrow, Altos 686 and other models. All had their hard
drives ripped out.
What is an Altos?
