I'm not. However, you can pick up PcEngiens WRAP (discontinued) and ALIX based solutions for just about 100E. There might be some ARM based solutions out there, I'm not aware of, though. In addition, there should be a rise in Intel Atom based boards in the next few months which can certainly provide a quite powerful solution for <100$. -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
