You miss my point - I don't WANt a huge box with fans and hard drives and stuff
- I want that tiny little fanless box to do my routing - I think there's a HUGe
market for this, and all they'd have to do is change the WAN port to support
full duplex 10/100 just like the other ports, and it could work as either.

Thanks
