Yeah, that expense is going to be an issue for me, as I'm trying to use
any money saved on the equipment itself on the wireless (see my last
response for why).

I've also seen (can't remember where) some benchmarks indicating that
pcengine and soekris epcs with equivalent specs are almost identical in
speed, so I think I'll go with the pcengines version. Good to hear that
people are using them successfully, though... rather, people I *know*
are using them successfully. ;]

PS - Don't expect further replies for about 9-10 days, as I'll be
heading to Sicily for 8 days, and have only port 80 access to the
internet.
