For the product I work on (a connection bonding appliance & service), we've used Soekris devices but have found them to be underpowered compared to newer Atom-based products from Portwell [1] and Lanner [2]. Geode-based products are fine if all you're doing is basic firewall, routing, and VPN stuff. Apparently Soekris is soon to introduce their own Atom device. Another option is a Linux netbook configured with VLANs to get around having only a single NIC. Then if you lock yourself out via the network, you have a keyboard and monitor built-in and don't have to go find the serial cable in your stuff-you-hoped-you'd-never-have-to-use-again box.
