On a lark, I loaded MINIX 2 on it, made it into a caching DNS server, web server, and had it pulling mail from our overloaded mail servers using fetchmail. I created accounts for a couple of friends who used it to pull mail. It worked for 3 people nicely - add a 4th and you'd get the dreaded "not enough core" message. As a funny coincidence, I realized that the MINIX 2 resource web site I'd been using was run by the father of a co-worker. https://minix1.woodhull.com/index1.html ...
