->  WC> TWO DB-9 serial ports with with UARTs on them too :-) 

-> You were saying that before.  You'll probably have less hassel with good serial
-> hardware on that board.  Remember that 'setserial' is your friend.

I will when that become my primary box.
Until I snag some more memory I'm sticking with the H.P.

After I switch the H.P. will be taken down and thoroughly cleaned
becoming my backup.

Thought occurs as the FSB in this H.P. is 66MHz running two PC100 sticks
DIMM I might just be able to put one of the original PC66 sticks back in
(64MB) and put the PCi00 128MB into the Gateway thus getting both up to
speed.

Might work as the H.P.'s two DIMM slots originally had 
64 and 32 Meg DIMMS of different manufacturer and it worked fine.

Then too researching memory at local vendors much of the PC100
is stated to be backward compatable with PC66
