[Soekris] Sizing a Soekris

[Crist J. Clark]

Like so many other messages I've seen in the archives, I am
looking to replace a loud, power-hungry old desktop PC that
is working as a bastion host/broadband router/wireless AP with
something small and QUIET. But I am not sure if I'm "sizing"
up the system right. From some things I see, a 4511 sounds like
it has the basic stuff that I need, two Ethernet ports and a
mini-PCI or PCMCIA slot for a wireless NIC. But I'm not sure
if the processor and RAM are up for what I want. So I'm looking
to the list for some guidance here.

My requirements:

	- Two Ethernet ports
	- Room for mini-PCI or PCMCIA wireless NIC
	- FreeBSD
	- IPFilter
	- IPv6
	- IPsec (doesn't need killer performance)
	- ISC DHCP server
	- DHCP client
	- rtadvd (IPv6 router advertisement)
	- sshd
	- syslogd (to send logs to another host)
	- ddclient

Really nice to have:

	- BIND caching DNS resolver
	- NTP

Now I think I can squeeze this running system into the RAM
available in a 4511, 64 MB, but get the system and a MFS in
RAM? Will I be able to do that?
