[nycbug-talk] soho firewall

[michael]

I'm looking for a new firewall/network device.  While I like soekris, I
want to look at other choices before I buy another one. Besides, I have
read that for ipsec they may not have enough umph.

While I could probably make one out of an empty cigarette carton or
something, I'd like it be manufactured.  I don't have any old pc's
around to convert either. 

I've read this

I'm looking for desktop, compact, quiet, but not too pricey.  While I
generally prefer via, I may have to look at P4 celeron mini-itx based.
I'd prefer cf over hard drive. I have a dual nic so, I'll need a pci
slot.. unless three nics come onboard.  One serial is required.

Any suggestions?
