yeah, you wish... those things (well, the netra t1-105 anyway) sells for
around $5000 USD (base)... I'd love to have one, too :)

Only drawback is no framebuffer/keyboard/mouse support.  They're rack
units and rack units *only*.  You can get a CDROM drive for them
(internal, even), but that's about it.  They do come with 2 RJ45 serial
ports (only one of which works, there's a PROM/BIOS bug in the current
batch), and 2 10/100 fastethernet ports, though... (built in).
