Ok.  Here Is What I Want To Do: I want to have an old Compaq 386/sx do a 
remote boot off of my FreeBSD server and then act like a dumb terminal without 
having to load the a complete kernel (640k of ram can't do much), IE act like 
a serial dumb terminal but use my mini-LAN at home.  Is this possible?

TIA!
