You can build a router from an Alix board for about $200 with plenty of
power to run DG and squid or tinyproxy.  128 MB RAM, CF storage.  I
think my alix board has 3 ethernet ports and wireless in a miniPCI slot.
 It's actually a smaller package than the average linksys.  With OpenWRT
plus Xwrt, it seems to have all the normal features you'd want in wireless.
