Your reply doesn't contradict my post. :) I fully agree with that.

I also don't have the latest and the greatest but your K6/2 is quite ancient,
I'm using such machines as small servers nowadays. One doesn't even get to
buy them in Germany anymore. Also even the accessgateways my company sells have
more horses under the hood. :)
