What sort of price are you looking for for this fine item? At Access 
Space we're looking to set up a very low cost mobile LAN (Firewall, 
NIS server and one client - unless anyone's got any better 
suggestions) which we can take to international events for demo 
purposes. The whole network has to be physically small enough to take 
on a plane - i.e <12 kg, I think!). I reckon your P75 could be an 
ideal component.

Oh, there's one thing I didn't mention: the reason I'm interested in 
your laptop is that the whole LAN has to be made from free (or very 
low cost) technology, which is what we're into here at Redundant 
Technology Initiative. (If you're interested check 
http://www.lowtech.org and http://access.lowtech.org for more.)

Cheers,

James
