<pre wrap="">By gateway, I mean router/firewall/whatever box that sits between your
LAN and the internet.
Reasonable choices:
- ISP-provided / sanctioned device (combo wireless router and modem)
- ISP modem + user provided wireless router
+ possibly running custom firmware like CeroWRT or OpenWRT
- ISP modem + PC acting as router
+ lots of possible software (pfsense, debian, whatever)
For a variety of reasons I've always used PCs. But which PCs are best
for this?

I have used <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.acrosser.com/">http://www.acrosser.com/</a> for a number of network
projects.<br>
The nice thing about their products is that they have enough
horsepower to run a full up linux install.<br>
<br>
They once upon a time had some nice fanless 6port computers which
were great for router/firewall applications.<br>
<br>
They are not the cheapest but if you look around you will see lots
of their products re-branded by others as complete solutions.<br>
