Sarvesh, Thanks for pointing out the ebox 'boxes'.
In a 'networks' course, it would be nice if your 'box' also supported m0n0wall with no fuss. The net4801 will. Though, the rear accessible CF slot would be very nice for AstLinux. I think you should try one of each and report back here. Sounds like a great course!
