Yeah, I should have been more specific - building a machine to handle that seems like a waste. Although, the specs you give are a lot lower than I expected, I could easily take the crummiest computer in here and build that. I have an abundance of nics.
I'm no network joe - how easy is the m0n0ware software, really? can I just run it off of a CD, or will I need to dust off an old <1GB drive?
The one problem I see is that my family runs wireless devices, and my BEFW11S4 doesn't function as a bridge, I don't think. Unless, of course, I can teach it to act as a wireless 'switch' and let the m0n0ware do the routing.
