[wellylug] Use for Older Laptop

[Peter Jones]

I use an old (P200 Compucon) laptop as an E-Smith (aka Mitel SME)
server/gateway for my home lan.
Wouldn't even know it is there. Only niggle with setting it up was getting
PCMCIA working for the NIC
but even that was just a matter of following the tutorial at the E-smith.org
site.
