OK, I just got a Linksys Wireless-G VPN Router model WRV54G.

As it turns out this is a Linux box.  You can telnet in and get a full 
(busybox) shell.  This is the version that 3DES VPN tunneling.  
Hardware and Version info below.  There are a limited number of 
commands, but it is impressive for less that $200.  It does have a nice 
feature set.  Support for DDNS via DynDNS.org and TZO.com.  Basic 
routing via RIP or static routing.  It supports 802.1x EAP 
authentication. It has some other nice features as well.  I can not 
find any details on the command line stuff, but poking around it seems 
pretty simple.

This may be common knowledge for some, but it is news to me and looks 
like it is going to be fun to play with.
