I have a whole pile of old PC parts that I'm using to build multiple routers. FreeBSD is making all of this possible. I don't know if I'm a typical case, but I do know what has frustrated me with this interprise to date. This pile of PC parts are free, and I'm doing this in time I'd otherwise not be billing, and I don't have a lot of cash to buy an extra ethernet card (x 5) and an extra SCSI controller (x 5) and bunch of other things that people seem to tell me are cheap enough to buy. FreeBSD works really well on these machines. My biggest complaint is the configuration of ethernet devices. It would be nice if there were some easier way to do this automatically. Warner
