I might at that. It also depends on the speed of the network. If you're connecting via a relatively slow Internet link, you don't need much CPU power to keep up. > ... 100-MHz system Pentium ... > ... It looks like these Linksys routers are at least as fast: ... That's not really apples-to-apples; all the LinkSys routers are MIPS architecture, and tuned for low-power and low-cost. Clock rate alone doesn't tell the whole story. All the above said, if you could get acceptable performance out of a 100 MHz Pentium, that's promising. :) > And they have to have enough computing-power to run WPA, right? Wireless crypto may be implemented in dedicated hardware in the wireless chipset, not on the general-purpose processor (where Linux and OpenVPN run), so that may not mean anything. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
