Re: Firewall SBC

Quoting Pedro de Oliveira (p.oliveira@xxxxxxx):

> 1) Are there SBC with at least a 233MMX + 64Mb ram?

Yes.  I have several SBCs with 400MHz K6 CPUs and 128MB+ RAM, one
of
which I use as a firewall.

> 2) Is there a "Disk on a chip" as big as 100Mb?

Don't know about that.  Probably, but it may not be at all cheap.

Intel ones are quite common, as are Realtek (also supported on Linux).

> 4) Is this feasible?

Probably, but I reckon it would be more expensive than buying a 1U or
2U
chassis and using a standard motherboard.  The SBCs themselves
aren't
cheap and getting a CPU that is physically small enough for the job
might cost a fair bit now.
