It should be noted that this is NOT the "Turn key" solutions we talked about in our collaboration.  This is a viable base-platform in which to build something on top of.  The advantage is that you don't necessarily need to use the Shield as a Router or a Bridge.. At this point, it is a unusually powerful System on Chip (SoC) device with three Gigabit Ethernet ports that runs Linux (Kernel 4.19 for now), gcc 10.1 (which causes it's own problem.), and musl 1.2.0 (the newest toolchain available).

I had thought about making making a VoIP server..

Maybe a iSCSI front end to a NAS?

Automatic Failover?  You could do an Inverted Router, have 2 WAN Ports and a Single LAN and allow it to failover for connectivity purposes.

Etc, etc.. I had to finally decide to remove the Itus preconceived "package" in order to make any sense in doing this for what may be the 4 or 5 of us total who might be interested in using the device still.

It SHOULD provide a platform for SOMETHING at least!

Assuming you have the bandwidth, it'll handle quite a bit of throughput.
