I wondered if u would mind helping me out. Basically have a Smoothwall firewall, which works great but I have to reduce the number of PC's I have, being kicked out of my office for my new son. Been looking at routers in the price range of ?100 > ?150 but they don't seem to provide the flexibility of Smoothwall, for example the Solwise SAR 715 does not really provide true DMZ functionality.
http://www.soekris.com/ has some cheap and very cool hardware that may be of use for this. they will run netbsd, freebsd, openbsd and linux. probably don't even need a cf card if you net boot it using the pxe boot code in the bios. i think they also have between 2 and 3 ethernet ports. 3 should be enough for an internet, dmz, internal interface tuple.
