 Dual ethernet
Are there plans for a fit-pc2 with dual ethernet? I'd buy one immediately to replace my zyxel firewall, which only gives me 13 mbit/s IPSEC DES throughput, before the CPU maxes out. SOHO router/firewalls with VPN support are relatively expensive if you want >20mbit/s 3DES IPSEC throughput.

 Re: Dual ethernet
Thanks for the input. We are aware of the demand for such a product. It has been thoroughly discussed on www.fit-pc.com/forum since the introduction of fit-PC Slim. CompuLab discusses only announced products.

CompuLab discusses only announced products. I don't need a gigabit WAN interface, so I'll just buy an USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter. The Apple USB Ethernet Adapter looks appropriate.

 Re: Dual ethernet
+1 for dual Ethernet. It's a pity that device as small as this cannot be used as a proper router (i.e. with both Ethernet ports soldered on board, and not via USB dongle). Of course in this case, audio and IR connections are probably unnecessary, so it could provide the space for 2nd (and even 3rd) Ethernet port.

 Re: Dual ethernet
+1 for dual Ethernet. With dual ethernet it would be the perfect router/gateway  Getting tired of my p3 500mhz in the old, ugly and big compaq case drawing ~50w idle

 Re: Dual ethernet
+1 dual gigabit ethernet.
In a similar vein, any kind of secondary high speed connection would be better than nothing. eSATA or Firewire 800, but I think dual ethernet has the most applications.
