Depends on how heavy of traffic... These are used quite a bit: http://www.soekris.com/ But have the nickname "suck-eris" because they are pretty slow (easily good enough for home use, maybe for a small office, but definitely not on a 10MBit+ line with a heavy VPN load.) They are low power, that's for sure, but with not much more power consumption you could use a mini-itx VIA board or something similar. Combine it with an IDE flash module and an OS tuned to run off of flash, and you're good to go ( http://www.transcendusa.com/Products/ModDetail.asp?ModNo=26&LangNo=0 ) -Mark _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
