to me asking to fit a real router into a RAM restricted wifi box is asking a 
lot. I use the wifi boxes as bridges; they are just a piece of ethernet cable 
with a wifi gizmo on the end.

For my home router, I'm using a real computer (a 75MHz 486) with 3 ethernet 
cards.

o one goes to my dsl router which is running in bridge mode

o one goes to my admin node in the DMZ

o one goes to the wifi boxes which provide the connnection for the users

the router has vpn, dns, dhcp, squid, iptables and rrdtool. It's also the house 
httpd. If I wanted to handle SIP, I expect I could do it there.
