Hi
Ive had a thought abotu this too - but the over heads in connecting such little
boxes will probably not prove any good.
Id say even a Beowulf of 10 machines would not equal the grunt of a Pentium
200.
I also think the $ would be more costly as you would need to source ethernet
cards, cables, a fwe hubs and so on.
The idea in principal is good - especially if you're like us and haev heaps of
the things siting around waiting to be routers. :-)
