 	Oddly enough, I was there today after reading the wikipedia 
article on the wrt54g. The units with USB sound quite interesting, 
especially if you can get it to accept a webcam. I wasn't able to find a 
place that sells them in bulk -- like 5-10 units. I was hoping to get v3s 
or v4s at around $30 apiece. I'll have to wait. Everyone else is using the 
Soekris units, which are more expensive.
