You could look at www.soekris.com. They're underpowered, but it should
be able to handle home router/firewall duties.
Underpowered? I think that is a really relative term. Underpowered for
datamining a 1 TB database? Yeah it probably is, however from my experience
I could saturate a 1.5 Mb SDSL or T-1 link using an IPSEC VPN on between a
Soekris 4501 and a 1GHz Dell POS. If all you are looking to do is run a
firewall for a DSL/Cable connection at home, the 4501 is likely overpowered.
