Yes, MIPS is fairly well supported.  The original Cobalt boxes were MIPS,
IIRC.  Ditto for the empeg car stero.

It has PCMCIA -- if they supported wireless LAN instead of only modem, I'd
probably get one...  Unfortunately, because they seem to be using a marketing
strategy similar to iOpener, they aren't likely to do that anytime soon.
They mention wireless in the FAQ, but I suspect it'll be one of those
cheapo "modem extender" things (meaning you still dial up) instead of
802.11.
