I'm actually using one of them right now.  The only real problem is mTCP's
telnet doesn't support ZModem, and the DOS editor doesn't wrap lines
all that well.  Don't know if its really worth it, as you can just run FreeDOS
on a new machine, and run all the same software.  The only thing you miss out
on, is native hardware sound (and sometimes graphic) support for old DOS
programs.

The point of having an old PC is really for the old sound card, video card and
CRT monitor.
