A 2400 didn't look that big to me, but then I was comparing it to
monsters like the HP Netservers and some of the huge rackmount stuff.
Most of the servers I find, I couldn't use because of the space and the
noise.

I might be interested if it has similar features.  Will have to look up
its technical manual online.
