Michiel,

   I have, now...<g>

   I quite like it;  it gives me another one to play with, and will free up
what I have been using (a mini-itx system) for other uses...<g>   (A mini PCI
card for wireless and bluetooth can be had for it that only costs $18, the last I checked...) 

   Still working on the configuration for it, though;  in particular, how I'm
going to set up the IPv6 connections on it.  The IPv4 side (firewall, etc) is mostly set up, so I'd only need to change the LAN ip to my internal network before trying that aspect out.

   And when I do that, it'll be interesting to see if my public IP changes.  If
it doesn't, then I can just configure at least the two 'standard' IPv6 interfaces fairly easily;  one for my tunnel via Hurricane Electric and one for the '6to4' tunnel.  I'd like to script at least the latter, though, since that way it would always be available even if the public IP changes.  I've been using statically configured interfaces, which do not come up automatically, for both of those interfaces on the existing firewall/router system and I'd rather not have to do that on the WRT54GL...
