Frankly, I would through a bit more hardware at it. The Soekris may handle it, but it will be tight... And it will not do wire speed between the internal interfaces. I would go with; Very small (appliance like) Case $62.99 http://www.directron.com/2699r.html Duel ethernet 1Ghz board $148.00 http://www.directron.com/epiacl10000.html Very nice Intel Duel port NIC $34.00 http://www.cmishop.com/store/ShowDetails.asp?txtProductName=nic/pila8472-bk&txtMfgPartNo=&nCategorySubID=125&txtSiteTrack=pw Psudo Hard drive $18.90 http://ec.transcendusa.com/product/ItemDetail.asp?ItemID=TS32MDOM40V And 512 meg of memory. 128-256 works fine now, but if you want PPTP or captive portal with a lot of users, you may need 512.
