OK, I'll check them out.

BTW, would using a floppy for the system be better than a HD in terms of
security? Or, it just means that a floppy will have less data so that
even if the system badly hacked, the recovery would be pretty simple
(just make a copy from the backup floppy, and the router will just run
as before). 

Thanks again,
