Can't find a dmesg currently, but from memory the original setup was something like: Pentium-133, 32MB RAM. 4GB Quantum IDE HDD, 3Com 509(?) ISA. I think some 512k Trident VGA graphics card. As far as I remember, most of the stuff had been 2nd hand even in '98. Back then, that was more than enough to run a mailserver for maybe 100 users (sendmail, qpop, uucp), bind, an nntpcache, squid proxy, radius (for an Ascend Max E1 dialin router I still have at home), and the web server. A couple of years ago, the mainboard had been replaced by something with a K6-233 CPU as the old one had died. The harddisk survived to the end (although that may have been the component that finally failed - didn't have a chance to get access to the hardware yet). Alex.
