The college where I'm network everything is about to get connected using ISDN (with those prices, who needs 56k!). IS guys being what they are, they insist on a firewall. I'm thinking of using FreeBSD with TIS's fwtk. Now for the problem spots. - I've been monitoring the firewalls mailing list where I posted my solution. Someone said go with BSDI, another with FreeBSD, still another said go with NetBSD. The only thing everyone seems to agree on is not to use Linux (a bug in the TCP/IP code it seems). From what I understand, NetBSD precedes FreeBSD 2.0 and BSDI 2.0. Aside from $$$ and "hacker" quality, what's nice about you guys ? - I would like to save money on routers and incorporate an ISDN card in the server. All our connections will go through the firewall to both channels (2-64k B channels). Can you recommend a card or card/external UTA that will work with FreeBSD ? - I will probably use a HP NetServer with integrated Adaptec SCSI controller. Comments? Problems? Other manfacturer? - Lastly, and I know this is plug time, any comments from users using FreeBSD as a base for a firewall? Thanks for the info. __________________________.
