I finally got my router into a usable state today. It provides me with
network connectivity to the Internet as well as providing NTP, DNS, SSH,
IPTables, and Demand PPP (yes, I connect via dialup modem). It does this
using a 64 MB CompactFlash card connected to the IDE cable like a HD.

I would have used my 32 MB CF card, but it proved to be unreliable upon
rereading (possibly having to do with the Lexar Media card not
implementing LBA).

Oh, yes. It's running 2.6.0-test9.
Anyone want me to post more details or instuctions on how I built it?
