| 	The story on /. about the Netcomm Modem/Hub/Server (running an 
| embedded version of Linux, see 
| <http://www.linuxworld.com.au/article.php3?aid=124&tid=1>) has gotten 
| me thinking about how you could do something like this (or even 
| better) on FreeBSD. 
| 	It also occurred to me that you could do the WAN networking part 
| with standard PC Cards, and you could even throw in wireless 802.11b 
| networking as well.
| 	Does anyone know of any good embedded hardware systems that are 
| well-supported by FreeBSD, and can support a hard drive (e.g., an 
| IDE/ATAPI drive like you might find in a laptop), plus a couple of PC 
| Cards?
| 	If you've got this much, I think most of the rest of the drivers 
| pretty much already fall right into place, and all you'd have to do 
| is cook up a case to put the thing in, and a small four or five-port 
| hub to plug onto the back of the machine (which would then get 
| integrated into the case).

To my knowledge, has this not been happening for a long time? ...
