I've never tried such a thing, mainly due to the restriction of disk
space. The WRT54G(L) is fine for primary DNS, firewall, NTP, snort,
and a few other gateway services that just require a processor with
minimal storage/cache. If you get just one 3MB email, there goes your
free space.
For mail, squid, file server or other resource-intensive services,
grab a NSLU-2. You can connect a decent size external drive (such as
the 8GB thumb drives now available) and do what you want. Or get one
of the USB-equipped devices from the original post!
