Hey Tom, I've also deployed a number Supermicro boxes during a few month span when the net6501 was backordered using the "SuperServer 5015A-EHF-D525" (https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015A-EHF-D525.cfm) This worked as a good replacement since it has: - an internal USB socket for boot software - supports console redirection for headless operation and BIOS recovery - software is seamlessly interchangeable between Soekris/SuperMicro for the OpenBSD/FreeBSD-based firewalls I run - has a PCIe slot so you can add a quad ethernet card for 6 ethernet ports (versus Soekris' 8-12) - supports SODIMMs, so you can run 4GB or RAM versus the Soekris' 2GB max with the net6501-70
The ADI Engineering RCC-VE has a rackmount option (http://www.adiengineering.com/products/rcc-ve-rackmount-appliance/) which looks good, but I haven't used any of their hardware yet.
