If you have another 386 or 486 lying around, you could install Linux and Ian's encrypted loopback code on a remote box, then NFS or Samba the filesystem over. For protection, you could modify the vlock command to lock the console (and not unlock it), and disable inetd. Then, unless someone has the permissions to access the files through the network, the files are inaccessable ;-).
I may have to consider this approach. I'll have to look into Ian's system. Does it pass muster with the crypto gods? (that's meant as a compliment guys :)
It uses IDEA in a decently secure manner, as well as TDES. You can also mount .au files as filesystems, and the data will be hidden in the sound file. (Last place I remember Ian's loop.c and des patches for Linux was on ftp.csua.berkeley.edu, /pub/cypherpunks/<somewhere>)
