we use the wrap boards ... has 3 wired lan ports and can have up to 4
antenna connections
3 nic wrap boards is $150 range ( same or cheaper than soekris )
depending on your requirements
- for distro you can use any distro .. customized for your
needs ( CF or laptop disk or ?? ) with firewall or not
openBSD based monowall works on both soekris and wrap
as does leaf
you can get wrap from:
http://pc-engines.ch
http://mini-box.com -- see the index on left and pics
http://wrap-box.net -- wrap chassis drawings
( for open source but non-commercial use )
