That was my thought as well (it was real expensive (AB40, NOVA gfx,
Nemesis, ...) and since I got ARAnyM running five years ago the Falcon
has been just sitting here unused) so I wanted to join the buildd as
well but unfortunately the ethernec hardware is so unstable that I loose
the network connection within minutes or don't get it on reboot at
all :-( It's either due to my amateur recasing to a big tower or perhaps
the Nemesized 20 MHz bus (instead of standard 16 MHz) makes it so
unstable.

So I'll continue improving the ARAnym to a state where it can join the
buildd in thousands of instances :-)
