Perhaps an ARM would have some difficulties (I don't honestly know about
that), but an ATOM would run circles around that ol' thing. ;)

sometimes though, those ARM devices can't handle as much as a full blown
monster. there are some times where having a slightly more powerful cpu would
be handy.

The only real problem with using this old beastie as a firewall is that it
probably pulls somewhere around 200 watts of power, so you could save a ton of
money very quickly by simply purchasing an ARM or ATOM based computer at full
price and using that for a firewall. It should pay for itself in around 6
months via it's greatly reduced power usage.

A PIII 80 Mhz eh? thats a good firewall box.<smile> I have one even
older than that still operating here (PII 400Mhz 256 MB ram using
openbsd 4.1). with over 1.5K days in operation, its been very
reliable. so? if anyone wants a firewall box setup using that old
server, I can put the OS in place and setup PF for them.
