	So, I've had this Duo 230, plus the Duo Dock II, laying around
for some time now. I think I've decided I want to use it as a router for
my home net, but I have a couple questions. 
	When docked, I show 24mb RAM and a I think the Duo has a 320mb
hard drive built in. The ONLY thing I want to do it route and possibly
serve some small web pages from it like mp3 lists and such. 
	The big question I have is, do I stick with MacOS or try and get
Linux running on it? I'll obviously need a couple NuBus 10BaseT cards,
which I don't know where to get info on or if a 68k Linux will support
them. Is there good enough software for MacOS to run this as a router? A
web server? System 7.5.3 is installed right now, what's the newest I can
goto? 
	As you can see I'm no Mac guru, but this little machine is fun
and I'd like to learn more about it. Right now it just keeps shutting
off for no apparent reason, and I had the ticking PSU when I plugged it
in after letting it sit for a year or so. I let it tick and the cap
charged up eventually though. That'll get me by until I can get to Radio
Shack. :) Anyhow, any updated or other useful sites on this little
machine will be of great help. Thank you.
