Right, as requested, the summary.<br><br>A lot of people recommended Soekris, described as being &quot;built like tanks&quot;, The Net4801, for example, has CF for booting, 3 x ethernet, and a serial port. <a href="http://www.soekris.com">http://www.soekris.com</a> . There was some concern about the longevity of their power supplies, however.<br>
<br>Also had multiple pointers to <a href="http://yawarra.com.au">http://yawarra.com.au</a>, who stock soekris and PC Engines WRAP systems.<br><br>Some people suggested looking on trademe for linksys WRT54GL&#39;s, and putting openwrt or similar on them, although serial ports could be an issue there.<br>
<br>Also put forward was the ALIX series (<a href="http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm">http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm</a>), also available from <a href="http://nicegear.co.nz">http://nicegear.co.nz</a> in Christchurch<br>
<br>And then a colleague sent me to <a href="http://opengear.com">opengear.com</a>, who do these little boxes that look like the old milan media converters, which come in a variety of options, with up to 4 x RJ45 serial ports (cisco pinout), multiple ethernets, usb, temperature monitor, dry contact connectors, and even versons with 3G cellular or 802.11 WiFi - <a href="http://www.opengear.com">http://www.opengear.com</a>. These look like they have quite some potential.<br>
