Hi Sean,
You are actually, if it copes with cups and samba it should really cope
with just routing of packets.

On that page it says "EddyP" in 2005 used his as a router/firewall, an
ftp server and subversion. He was using Unslung 5.5 though rather than
Debian.
Actually, right at the bottom "2007-07-15" suggests he uses his Debian
Etch-ified Slug as a router/firewall, mail, web, ssh and all sorts.
See, you have been helpful ;)

I'm afraid I just moved to ADSL Max. What a mistake that was. We had so
many problems with the line and it still is rather unstable at random
intervals.
However, thank you for your generous offer! I shall have to try the
NSLU2 and worst case I have a cool new Debian 4.0 box ;)
Cheers,
Dave
