Need to ask Phil Regnauld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> but basically what he did was get components from here and there and build himself a server. He uses one of the 12" (or so) industrial motherboards (I think made by either Intel or Via) and a case from I don't know where. He also put in it a PCI WiFI card and with some software running on FreeBSD, he runs the box also as a wifi AP. It generates next to no heat etc... quite neat.. but I'll have to ask him for details. cheers, Patrick. > > Mark. > > > --------------------------------------------- > This service is hosted on the Infocom network > http://www.infocom.co.ug --------------------------------------------- This service is hosted on the Infocom network http://www.infocom.co.ug
