Yes but the uptime is since I last installed ttylinux and booted it up.  There
has been five major power outages during that uptime.  The machine itself has
been in use for years now and is the link between all machines here and the
outside world.  It also ran the ftp site and there is a chance that I might put
that online again if and when needed.  Given that the world connection has
failed five times due to those power outages I cannot guarentee the internet
could reach the site when those events occur BUT can safely say the 486 is
willing and able when the rest of the world is able to catch up to it.  <BEG>

BTW I now have a pure 64-bit one doing simular but it isn't pure DC input ...
yet.  At the moment it is subject to power failures.  I am using it as a bridge
between the neighbour (wireless connection) and my wired LAN.  We have it
working now that I replaced his wireless crap with the Dell server running
ttylinux off an ide flash disk.  That also requires AC input at the moment but
I think it is also a good candidate for pure DC now that all the spinney crap
is disabled.

Life is good,
Maurice
