need a new router...

Hi! First post. Basically I'm in need of a new router. I would like to have it setup to do NAT on our cable connection + GSM fail over. I was looking at the soekris boards. Are they any good? Any suggestions?

they are fine. I've used them before, along with the alix boards.

FreeBSD makes a GREAT router. I use it for my router right now. It has more than one option when it comes to firewalls/nat which is also nice. Personally i use pf

My current router isn't anything so small, It's well over powered for a router to be honest, but yah, you can use FreeBSD for a router and the board you are talking about will work well.
 
I use a net5501 with FreeBSD 8.0 here at home. Very happy with it. I also use GSM/3G failover via its USB port and my Nokia. :)
