The machine in question is a K6-II-300. The machine I'm displaying one 
invokation of Mozilla on is as well; the only spec difference between 
them is the display machine only has 64M of RAM and 10G of HDD (vs 128 
and 15). The third workstation in the house (the display machine, my 
wife's, has a second network card and relays packets for it), my 
daughter's, is also a K6-II-300/64M/8G (with TNT-2 video). The gateway 
is a 486SLC40/12M/250M. The whole lot is networked with 10baseT but I'm 
about to up it to 100baseT.
