And even if we are willing to put in the time, speed equals money in
bandwidth provision.
If you really want to run NetCache on an Intel-based box, you can run it
under NT. (No, I haven't done that, and yes, I would prefer Linux.)
The cost of a fully-configured Digital PW 433au running Digital UNIX, by
