Toshiba had me test a box which they were playing with as a file server with
10 ethernet ports on it.
But the key thing is, running the toys with free software is a guinine goal
which should not be overlooked.
As an aside, we have a Pentium 3 PC being used as a gateway at Kings Games
and they have had a number of Lan parties with gamers, and the box outperformed
linksys, and all the other routers which this thing originally replaced. And QOS
(which is an oxymoron) is a kernel option.
