After searching google and the archives I wasn't able to find any 
current information on the status of hardware cryptographic 
accelerators (like the Soekris vpn1401) and gbde.  Can gbde harness the 
power of one of these accelerator cards yet?  If so do they provide 
significant offloading from the processor(s)?  Any comments on the 
Soekris vpn1401 card I've been thinking about?  Thanks in advance.
