No not bad.  Just in case anyone cares, I now have NetBSD running on
a Compaw Laptop Contura 3/25 w/121Megs of Hard Disk, 8Megs of RAM.

The machine is connected in the evenings from my apt. in A'dam 
over a modem and at work directly to my DECstation :-)
This is all over SLIP.

Works just fine for me.  Plus the "pause" button works so I can
pause the machine, put it in my backpack, get on the Train and unpause it,
run for a while, then pause it between the train and the office.

If I could get a second line here I'd run it on the net continuously
from home, but the Dutch PTT is the worst.

Since the problem with localhost was fixed I've yet to crash it, and
I'm using it to do things like network programming etc.

Later,
George
