You will have to have a look at the ltsp_wireless package. Despite its
name it is not only for wireless cards but also for several PCMCIA
adapters. Your CN40bc probably is NE2000-compatible?
I'd check if 8MB is OK for LTSP. Could be you have to activate swap.
In your case, with a little fiddling, local harddisk swap (e.g. in a
file on a yet-existing partition, no re-partitioning necessary) could
work.
Another way to go could be: Local installation of a miniature linux
(only the X server, nearly no packages - you could just take the
/opt/ltsp/i386 tree from your server +very little stuff), then make
the root partition read-only (which is possible, since in LTSP case it
always is read-only) so that on poweroff no data is lost, and have it
X -query ip.of.ser.ver (that's what ltsp does too).
