Hi, Jeremy,

First, I want to turn one into a bastion host and fold the "inner"
firewall into it.  Once I get that running, I'd like to extend
it to handle media services.  The older models seem best suited
to this.

I'm not (yet) convinced that this is a good platform (in terms
of the actual hardware supported) so I don't want to waste
a lot of time chasing something that won't work  :-/

I've already played with a few "alternate images" for them.
But, they all basically do the same thing.  Just different
opinions as to *how* to do it.

I need to see if the hardware can be taken in a different
direction.  Or, how *far* it can be taken in a different
direction before it breaks  :-/
