I'm using an Advantech PCM-4823 with 32MB DOC + 32MB RAM and a PCM-5820
with 32MB CF + 64MB RAM; both use MFS filesystems for the writable fs.
These boxes have been mentioned often when "small" boxes are called for.

I for one would be very interested in Sorens' <soren@soekris.com>
"OEM" hardware because Advantech is pretty expensive, mainly because
it has too much stuff we don't need for a FreeBSD "NAT box" + IPSEC
VPN. There is also a need for secure serial terminal servers:
fanless and diskless - PC/104 unfortunately makes the price/port
quite uncompetitive to the cheap but insecure telnet terminal servers
on the market.
