Right, but the problem with a zaurus is that it doesn't lend itself to be a gateway easily. Further, there's many insecure products out there that I'm sure many of us are using for wireless access. Yes, I've created ad-hoc networks, etc., but this is a low powered device with no moving parts. Wouldn't it be nice if one of those vendors ported OpenBSD (or any other BSD) for us? <grin>
