If you get the basics of TCP/IP, then KA9Q has a lower learning curve than
linux does.  Might have been part of it, and or a machine that wasn't doing
anything else? A 386 of pretty much any flavour was meant to be able to route
enough packets for ~10 486 claass systems? Something like that, I forget.
