Pizza-box style case is a problem, unless it can be put on an edge.  (As
far as I'm concerned, it's about the same as a regular desktop.)

I'm more concerned about the heat output than I am about the noise
level.  (And, secondarily, I'd just like to know that it's drawing minimal
power...(^&)


Still, thanks for the suggestion.  I'll lump that in with the general
notion of an old i386 box.  (Another person suggested a SPARC in private
email.)

i4b?  The ISDN interface for BSD?  (Just to be clear about what you mean.  
ISDN seems to be a pricey option around here (at least, it was the last
time that I actually looked into it); I'm presently using a regular dialup
modem.  The plan is to move in a couple of months and hopefully switch to
cable-modem or DSL.)
