For a Dial-Up user relativ small problem since they are generaly
not long enough On-Line. -- But a minimal risk stay.

I have MSI MS-4144 as Dial-in Servers each with 4 USR Courier I-Modems
since i have not found any other Mainboards where I can put in 4 VERY
LONG 16-bit ISA-Cards and the CPU/Memory is not in the way.
The machines use the AMD Am5x86-P75-ADZ-133 with 64 MByte of memory and
a 3Com 3c905B NIC. The machines are exploted 424/24 and 7/7 to the
Internet running currently Sarge and went never hacked since the last
6 years.
An other machine is a P1/200 which act as printserver (CUPS) for 7
Printers (2x DJ560, 1x DJ1200, 2x LJ4L, 2 Kyosera) with 192 MByte of
memory and 8 GByte HDD
And last not least I have running a 386dx/33 with 16 MByte (4 30pin SIMS
of 4MB) of memory and an ISA card DCF77 to act as local NTP-Server. It
is running NetBSD since over 6 years without any updates.
Because you know: DON'T TOUCH A RUNNING SYSTEM!
