Well, I'm an ISP. Let's see if I can figure out how to get an IP stack on an 
HP2100, SLIP... attach it to a modem bank via multiple baci boards... hack 
up an ethernet board... and voila! Instant vintage dialup server :)

Actually, I have thought about moving a machine or two into the datacenter, 
but then it'd be too far to play with, and run my already huge power bills 
through the ceiling!
