Hello and good morning.

The Computer runs under Linux... 

OK, I know DR-Dos is working very well ;-)) but my Mainboards are jumping 
not to 1980 but 1900  ;-)) which mean the "19" is hardcoded in the Bios.

So if I find it, I can continue to use the mainboards.

Note:   The cheapest mainboard I had fond was US$ 70 and it is a 586.
        Now I need the cheapest CPU, which is a K6 II-350 for US$ 50.
        And then the Mainboard use DIMM-Modules. The smallest is a 
        32 MByte for US$ 60

        The ensemble is US$ 180 and around 80 Times faster as I need.
        My 486dx40 consumes around 18 Watt but a K6II-350 around 62 Watt.

This is, why I try to hod the old ones.

On a 486dx66 I can run a Internet-Access-Server (Foray-PPP 2.81) under Dos 
with 32 Lines. A K6II-350 can handel around 128 Lines under Linux. 

Which overkill !!!

I have on one Computer only 4 Courier-I (internal) with 56k ISDN and V.90 
and on a second 4 Sportster 28800.

Thanks for your help
Michelle
