[olug] VPN Hardware

[Rob Townley]

Most of the BuffaloTechnology routers have dd-wrt builtin for
professional users and also offer an optional more consumer friendly
firmware.  In the past, BuffaloTech products had beefier CPUs and much
much more RAM than other systems, but have not checked to see if that
still holds.  The following dd-wrt system has dual radios and Gigabit
ports and the price just dropped $70 to $100.00.

i found the soho routers could not handle the number of  dhcp clients
and became the transmission bottleneck on our LANs on which there are
over 100 nodes.  Since have moved to tinc-vpn on vyatta and find it so
much faster.    Guus just released a new version which should fix the
window clients PMTU problems.
