We're looking to acquire a couple small servers that can act as routers for
us at remote locations.

To minimize hardware issues, I'd love to get something that has no fans, can
still run a fairly decent processor and preferably no hard drive (easy with
an IDE CF adapter).

It would need a couple PCI slots for quad port ethernet cards and a fairly
robust tolerance to temperature variations.

I like what I see at Advantech -- anyone have any testimonies as to what
they've had success/problems with?

Ray
