The biggest problem I have come across looking at these is finding
something with 3 NICs without spending a fortune on a multiple interface

The soekris and pc-engines wrap both have 3 NICs, and are available
from Yawarra.
VIA also make a motherboard with 2 NIC's and a PCI slot. ELX sell boxes
with these in them I believe.
Thanks for the comments. The general consensus (and from my searching)
seems to be there is not much difference between the embedded type and
the full pc type as long as the embedded type chosen has a processor
capable of maintaining a high enough throughput of packets for the
chosen application.
