Did it years ago. Then decided that there was no point in
turning a perfectly good PC into a dedicated embedded system :-)
Now I've got one of those little LinkSys boxes which does
essentially the same thing (it's a box that routes and
filters packets with no userland component), and all my
PCs are doing useful stuff like having new Linux distros
installed on them every few days :-)
