[TriLUG] need better router

[Turnpike Man]

How many connections are you servicing?  Are you going to be doing encryption
or VPN connections?

For my home setup, I have an AMD 166 w/ 256MB ram, intel dual port pro 100mbit
nic... there are no issues, runs RH linux and iptables on a minimal install.
