Well, I still use mine! Believe it or not it is my "server", though I
think it will soon (next six months) it will become a
router/firewall/terminal server only. Some things (eg gnome, mozilla)
are just too slow to be useable on a pc532, but with the 230.4 kb/s
uarts it can handle a ppp link admirably and the Cabletron
scsi/ethernet is no bottleneck when my connection to the internet is
POTS.

I'd like to keep it running and current if possible, though I think I
might move to cross compiling if that ever becomes easy. Partly it is
nostalgia, but also as I said, I do have a role it can still perform
well.
