I don't know if your requirement for an Atom CPU is absolute, or you're just looking for a low power solution, but if it's the latter and 100Mb/s networking is fast enough, I use one of these http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d13.htm for my pfSense firewall. Three network interfaces so you have a DMZ, plus a hardware crypto accelerator for VPNs. Total power consumption measured at 5W. The alix2d2 is the 2 network port version. -- "Although the wombat is real and the dragon is not, few know what a wombat looks like, but everyone knows what a dragon looks like." -- Avram Davidson, _Adventures in Unhistory_
