You didn't mention how much traffic you planned to handle, but I'd at least consider something like the linksys WRTSL54GS. It's well supported by various linux distributions designed for use as routers/firewalls.
I like that particular model because is has 2-4 times the ram, storage, and CPU of other models. Not to mention a USB port if you want to add some storage or other devices (I was thinking of a webcam). I suspect you could by two for fallover and still be cheaper than many other options. Certainly not going to be as fast as some of the SBC platforms at 800 MHz and up, but possibly plenty, cheap, and reliable. Not that the soekeris doesn't sound interesting, if anyone has additional details on the mesh networking and the soekeris please post. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
