If you know one please tell me. I've got an idea. Stop using a playskool operating system where you need something industrial-grade. Hey, this is a Linux-related mailing list: Why not install some version of Linux instead? To make it short and sweet, you're using a screwdriver where you need a hammer. Sure, if you beat on it enough, you *might* be able to get something half-assed working, but don't start crying when it falls apart. Most importantly, this discussion is *grossly* off-topic for this list
