Hey Guys, This thing really looks cool. I am really resisting buying one for now as I really do have too many cool things I have not even touched yet. Anyway, what can you do with it? Here is a short list: 1. Configure an comprehensive IP Firewall, and router 2. Make an bandwidth enforcement bridge. Absolutely limit bandwidth by ip address and/or port number. 3. Interconnect two different networks, physically 4. Make a home DNS/DHCP Management Server (no more comcast blues) 5. Connect any type of camera and broadcast live video and sound. 6. Connect it to some relays and open doors, lights, garages, alarm systems, popcorn poppers :-> 7. It runs a normal linux implementation and can escentially do any ONE or TWO thing linux can do. 8. With a 4G+ SD card it could be a boot server for installing new machines 9. Using SSH or NFS you could link it to your music/video collection and stream multi-meda over the lan. 10. For $70 bucks you could even treat it as Modern Art and hang it on a wall. hmmm

This is almost as cool as the T-motes... just in case you need a tiny gateway. I'm trying desperately to come up with a reason to buy one... ;-) http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2837651365.html Vern -- This time for sure! -Bullwinkle J.
