One word: NetBSD. Good personal firewall machine. You can use the onboard ethernet plus an ethernet card in the PDS slot. (6100s have a PDS slot, not? Thought they did...)

If they can manufature CPU daughtercards, then they surely are capable of designing G4 upgrades. I am not going to ask you "Don't you think so?" 'cause I am positive they can.
