The Higher Authority doesn't care what I do at my end, just so long as
it doesn't affect his precious windoze boxen. I'm actually thinking of
using one of the currently unused pentia for that (I have been assigned
1 IP for all of my systems), and leave the laptop relatively mobile.

Given that, I think I might be able to get a few old pentia running off
of one circuit (not that I have much choice about it).
