If all I needed was NAT, I'd go with one of these, but I also have the following "requirements":

	Needs MS PPTP VPN support
	Would be nice to have SAMBA on the same box as well 8-)

Plus, I'm actually selling an old box of mine to the client, so I dont want
to miss out on that, so I can buy groceries.
