Tolerance to high temps and general reliability. I love to use WRTs,
but only if the client is willing to pay for two of them. A Soekris,
on the other hand, I would stick in an AC-less crawl space or what
have you with confidence. (Aside: the reliability of WRTs seems to
skyrocket if you are willing to pay an extra $15 or so for a good wall
wart from a reputable supply place and take the time to see what else
is nearby and/or on the same breaker.)

Also I get the impression that he's already using m0n0wall and wants
to stick with that. Can't run that on a WRT.

Cheers,
