I've thought about doing something similar & then I remember that the whole 
machine is available, so that and the increase in the light bill tended to 
make it just a thought.  A 2 meg coco3, with a gigabyte hard drive would make 
a good playground though.  I'd have to set up another port forward in the 
router too, and that's just another attack vector.  Yesterdays log shows 
nearly 5000 packets dropped from 3 addresses that whois back to a couple of 
Akemi accounts.  So I may at some point be forced to shut down my web server, 
currently running on a non-port 80 address, and then I'd be completely 
invisible on the net.  dd-wrt is the best kept secret in the router world.  I 
should not admit this but I don't run any other firewalls on the stuff behind 
it.  So far, it Just Works(TM).
