hi,

i use an Amiga 1200 with 68040/40 turbo board as a machine running 
NetBSD on 68k -- logging in is (relatively) fast, most of the time 
faster than ssh'ing a Darwin machine on the same LAN.

(i built the system with 040 optimization as one sees huge speedups on 
sparc machines when optimizing the code; running unoptimized code sparcs 
tend to react in an anemic way)
