I'm curious as to what you do with your PowerBook 540.  I have yet to find any 
worthy application for a 68k Mac running NetBSD.  

Granted, just installing stuff to see if it will run on a 68k machine can be 
fun for a while, but it does grow old.  I know that there are oodles of 
network applications for the 68k Macintosh, like routing and guarding, etc.  
What worthwhile applications are there for the 68k machines?
