[wellylug] SFF pc for a firewall

[William Hamilton]

Thanks Peter..  I shoudl add..   currently setup as a VPN server too and a
number of security tools...  grunt may be required more than teh ASUS or WRT
beasts may provide.    I liek the addition of USB port on the devices these
days.. my old WRT-54G at home should get an upgrade one day but it just
keeps trucking along but uses dd-WRT rather tha OpenWRT

cheers
