Thank you *very* much in advance - Jy@ These work nicely, but dont expect to get the same throughput on these that you get on your 7000 series. Go with a 64bit bus for serious multi-ethernet bandwidth. The dlinks are fine but dont expect to get 800Mb/s on a single 32-bit pci bus unless you dont have much else going on. dennis Emerging Technologies, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.etinc.com ISA and PCI T1/T3/V35/HSSI Cards for FreeBSD and LINUX Multiport T1 and HSSI/T3 UNIX-based Routers Bandwidth Management Standalone Systems Bandwidth Management software for LINUX and FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
