$500 tops. 8MB is probably okay, 16 might improve resistance to mailbombs a bit tho. You can get 486 motherboards for under $100 nowadays. Do the math: used 486 MB+CPU: $100 16MB RAM: $150 case+powersupply: $50 100MB HD: $20 FWIW, a very nice store in NYC called J&R (Park Row) is selling Digital 486 boxes for $600, including 16MB RAM, 540MB hd, and color monitor. I also bought a 16MB thingie for my kid's 486 for $109. HD Controller: $15 Dual 16550 Serial Card: $15 28800bps Modem: $150 I just got an internal 28.8Kbps modem (including fax) for $100. ------ $500
And if you really want to run a remailer, I can sell you most of the above, and I'll even throw in a 340MB IDE HD with Linux+remailers preinstalled! (Yes, I'm serious.)
Are we talking about running a remailer over a dial-up UUCP, the way Julf did? This box runs over dial-up UUCP on 14.4K modem, with two incoming feeds. I may be willing to run a remailer to replace anon.penet.fi - let's discuss t (It used to have an outgoing feed to Moscow, but not anymore. :-) --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
