I'm very pleased with the results. An older, ugly, slow 486DX/Si, with 16 MB RAM, 540 MB HDD, network card, sound and video integrated, is running smoothly with DSL.

The main objective for this resurrection is converting this pc in terminal for W2k TS, LTSP or stand alone for users restricted. It works better in remote desktop than PII or PIII with W2K, because DSL isn't so resource hungry as windows is. The taks I'm performing know is giving printer capabilities over remote desktop and I have a fresh new terminal ready for new workers.

No, I haven't got any photo now, but if you like I can take some. I could take one with the X, and other connected to the server. Where shall I send them?
