Put Linux or other free Unix inside one of these in EPROM's and attach
a parallel port ethernet card to the printer port and you could have a
nice quiet, no moving part firewall. The fact the processor is not 
x86 compatible makes it somewhat immune to root kits. Shame the modem is
only 33.6k but the principle is fine.
