I've been doing pretty much the same on a pair of net4501's for about 8 or 9 years, powered on 99.99% since then, using cheap 32 MB CF cards mounted read-only. Never had a problem with them, OpenBSD JFW's. > For what its worth, the limited CPU and RAM on the 4801 have never > been an issue for me routing a home cable connection, firewalling with > pf and providing VPN via OpenVPN so a 5501 should do you fine. > Install has also always gone smoothly. All in all I love my 4801 Unfortunately I've upgraded my internet connection and now the 4501 can't handle the bandwidth, so I'm patiently waiting for the 6501 which I hope will give me another 8 or 9 years of trouble-free service.
