	I seem to have lost the bookmark, but within the last 18 months
or so I saw an article for something that might work here.  It ran
Linux, so hopefully it would run *BSD.
	It had a 1 ghz processor, and 512 mbytes of RAM.
	The package was a a cube. 2"x2"x2".  That's correct, inches.
One face has a power plug; another had a USB connector; a third has
a (100 mbit) ethernet connector.
	The price was (I think) under US $150.
