Thats the only problem about an old 486: ISA slots.  I picked up two ISA
network card for mine of huddersfield secondhand market!!

Perhaps a low end Pentium p75 ish with PCI might be better!

Are you sure you need win98 to install Blueyonder?  NTL say a windows
machine is needed for the cable modem install, but basically they're
saying they only support windows.  When I had my cable modem installed,
I just got the man to plug it into the wall. I did all the rest!

This is a FAQ for setting up Blueyonder with another firewall/router
distro "Smoothwall"

As for FTP SSHD wtc.. AFAIR Freesco will run these although of course
without a hard drive it's  abit pointless.  Although you can of course
run it of a hard drive instead of a single floppy!
