This little gem is running a 128M Compact Flash with a crypto acelorator
for VPN's Also have a D-Link 520 stuffed into it to act as an access
point. Since it is running OpenBSD it is utilizing OpenBSD's Authpf for
the wireless connections.(Must authenticate before wireless will work.
to the network.) 

Its job is to be a 4 leged firewall. Interface 1 and 2 make up the
transparent firewall bridge, interface 3 is the NAT interface for my
wired network of private machines. and interface 4 is the wireless card
this is running in HOSTAP mode (which is also a NAT interface)

They are just awesome and make no noise and can be tweaked to a GEEKS
dream.
