I've used them with Thicknet, Thinnet, and 10BaseT at various times. Yes you are right. It's been a little while since I've pulled that machine out, but all it needed was an external transceiver. Hopefully I'll be able to dust it off at some point in the near future and see if it runs 4.0 well. > but I put one on it and it was my DNS server just fine with > OpenBSD up to 3.7 or so until I moved, and as far as I know it should > still work.

The oldest one which I am still running (at present) is an old Sun LX -- running an older Solaris, but a planned changeover to OpenBSD. Intended function is DNS server.

Fwd: Oldest Server you run
And I ment to send this to the whole list -- Forwarded message -- From: Jason Crawford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Oct 12, 2006 5:03 PM Subject: Re: Oldest Server you run To: Falk Husemann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On 10/12/06, Falk Husemann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello List! We're trying to put an old server to good use again and would like to know what's exactly the oldest machine running OpenBSD? As machine we defined something with processor, ram, network, hard disk and a connection to the internet. So no Newton or toaster (at least not if there's no disk being toasted). Thank you in advance, Falk Oldest machine I had running (until I moved to an appartment that can't accomodate more than a couple machines) was a sparc station2 at 40MHz and 32MB ram with two 512MB hard drives. Didn't have an onboard nic, but I put one on it and it was my DNS server just fine with OpenBSD up to 3.7 or so until I moved, and as far as I know it should still work. I also run a friend's firewall on a p166 machine with 64MB of ram. Jason
