Right. If you wait a bit, there are a number of Nework Attached Storage devices coming out, such as the Asus WL-700: built-in hard drive, 64 MB RAM, Broadcom chip at 200-300 MhZ, ethernet and wireless. And *damn* sexy, see http://wl500g.info/forumdisplay.php?f=87 It was supposed to come out at the end of 2005 but has been delayed and delayed. However, it's available in Taiwan now, has been shown at CEBIT and should therefor be available RSN. If you don't mind that it's *not* running a MIPS chip, there are similar devices already based on ARM cores, see http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ e.g. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DS101/HomePage -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
