[Cialug] WTB: Socket 462/Socket A processor

[Chris K.]

Let me look in my inventory.  I think I have a 1G Athlon in my parts bin.

Also, if you run into any issues with your proof of concept, let me 
know.  I am currently running a IPcop based firewall and I use OpenVPN 
to secure my wireless.

Will let you know on the part as soon as I dig around.
