[wellylug] Use for Older Laptop

I have recently been given an older Toshiba Laptop - 80486 c/w 40Mb RAM and
3Gb HDD
It does not boot from the CDROM and has no Operating System on it.
It has a couple of PCMCIA slots - a 10/100 3Com NIC and a 33.6k Xircom
modem.
The battery is good for about 1 hour at a time.

What do you suggest I use this for? I will bring to the next meeting as an
interesting challenge.

Primarily I want something useable from it, perhaps a firewall, a network
terminal, or a basic laptop?
