My succession of little green boxes have now been succeeded by a Netgate/ADI Engineering 2440, which has an Atom C2xxx CPU that has the bug that's been in the press. But due to a fortunate coincidence the bug can be sidestepped in software in this product, and I received an alert from the company I purchased the product from containing information on how to upgrade to a BIOS that works around the problem. So the kind of customer service we enjoyed years ago from Soekris, but no longer.
