I'm still using my old multia/UDB as my home router for cable modem. Even if 
there were a MILO kernel, would the rest of the AC3 distro support an alpha 
processor that old? (I suppose I could switch to SRM booting but the question 
would still be AC3 support. I keep looking at ebay from time to time to see 
if I can bag a cheap "upgrade". I think I've gotten my <$100 worth for the 
10+ years I've had this little box running....:)
