I remember using it (or rather a predecessor of that I believe) to turn a Pentium-II class PC without hard drive into a fully functioning router to share my broad band internet connection with a neighbor back in the early 2000s where direct dial-up was still a thing even with broadband. It was an easy, mostly pre-configured setup. We had to power-cycle the PC every couple of weeks because it halted sometimes but other than it worked like charm and was actually running from a single 3.5" HD floppy. (For the younger audience: floppies were looking like 3D printed save buttons. ;)
