This link will help I just took a second look at what I have coming in my ALIX.6E1 Kit. (Also found that 'CF' == Compact Flash; we've got enough abbrvs, all right. ) At any rate, here is what is in my 6e1 kit: * ALIX.6E1 system board (2/1/1/256/LX800) * Laser etched black aluminum enclosure with USB and antenna cutouts * Blank 2 GB Sandisk Ultra II CF Card * Standard 15V 1.25A 18W power supply (US plug style) * Ships unassembled If your 4G CF card was overkill, will my 2GB card be enough? If not I'll order a slave chip; or maybe a 4G flash card. Pasted immediately below is what I was pointed last last night. There were links like your URLs to the pfSense site. Hm.

Last question[s]: is there a toggle somewhere to change the speed to 9600?

The long-story-short is that just a few months ago I thought I *had* found a low-power [Atom] box with a dual-NIC for around $300. So I figured that since there was at least that one there might be others. Late last night my friend at the University figured that it wouldn't be that hard to build one from parts. [[ Sure, if you've got two good hands and a several hours, etc. ]] An Atom CPU is only the means to the end of finally having a low power config. Right now I'm probably burning 100w using the Kayak and an '05 40G drive. Any low-power box will work.
