Well, the IPC/lunchbox computer can still be your *real* firewall, the
Cable/DSL router could pass everything to it - my goal was to come up
with a low-cost way to add a 56K serial modem to the box with
speed-limited  serial ports.

The D-Link router (but one example of the devices I mention) are
commonly available for $20-30 - how much do high-speed SBUS serial
cards go for?
