Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the reply.  I am confused as to how i can make it X terminal.
I have only one monitor. Now i can install all the X apps on it and
sayinstall Xserver on my NT machine and execute x apps on my Nt machine
over the network. Is that what your are doing? if not, please explain a
bit more if you do not mind.

On another note, how about turning it into a caching
DNS/mail/Proxy/gateway server? Can this be done with a 486dx66 and
minimal install of linux?

Thanks.

Regards,

Mohammed
