Was thinking about that. I bought the Linksys WRT54G which can be flashed with Linux, so I was hoping that somebody on the list had played with one of those. Specifically, is each hardware port in the router considered a separate network device (eth0, eth1, ...)? If so, then doing what I intend should be easy.

I see your point. Using the default ROM from Linksys doesn't allow the capability I want, but I'm hoping that Linux for WRT54G (http://www.batbox.org/wrt54g-linux.html) will.
