[Coco] Single board Pentium computer... "CoCo4" or Drivewire server material?

[Aaron Wolfe]

I believe it will be possible to run the java version of the DriveWire
server on devices like the Linksys WRT54 router (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series ).  I have one so
I'll be trying this at some point :)
The serial libraries also support WinCE, so any ipaq type handheld
should work.  lots of the older handhelds used serial ports for their
sync connection, so this might be a good way to put them to use.
There may also soon be a web interface that can be used in place of a
native GUI on platforms like the WRT54 that have no display.
