VIA processors are just the ticket for this. I've recently made one myself - check my blog for a laugh ;) Great blog post Dave - interesting reading. I love these home made firewalls.

The substituted board is $20 more and the 3 NIC add-on board is $52, so for less than half as much as the cost of the Intel dual port NIC you get an extra port and retain the PCI slot(though I can't think of what you would use it for with smoothwall).
