yeah, I'm familiar with the soekris stuff, however I'd like to stuff a
4-port NIC into one of these and that isn't going to happen on a soekris.

actually, allwell is coming out with a via C3 based system end of January
2002, hmmm it's almost end-o-January 2002, with 2 pci slots.  I'm
thinking a 4-port nic and a crypto accelerator card.
