If I find someone with an old 486, I'll try and grab it. Plus we'll need an
ISA/EISA network card. I can't remember if PCI was introduced in the 486 days
or with the Pentiums. Probably the bigger issue will be finding appropriate
network card drivers for TCP/IP. In those days, Lantastic and IPX/SPX were
more common. 

But I do remember the original Xtra and iHug CDs used to come with software to
connect Windows 3.1 to the net via dialup, so maybe they had DOS IP stacks on
them.

Anybody got one of those CDs lying around? 

I worked at both Xtra and iHug in those days, but I didn't keep any of that
stuff. :(

I might have to drive up there and bribe you with cash. Next couple of months
I'm going to be broke, but when things get sorted, I will send you a message
and see if you've still got it and whether you've changed your mind about
parting with it. :)
