Well, I wasn't going to do this, and probably shouldn't have, but here's
the situation. We all know that you can use the ET-Inc card or the
SDL card for T1 routing... But does FreeBSD have ANYTHING available with
a HSSI interface yet? We've already bought one Cisco 7010 and the $60,000+
we've spent "configuring" it, (Ie: Base unit, 2 100 Megabit ethernets, and
one HSSI port) could have been much better spent I think. I would be much
more willing to "take my chances" on a $55,000 savings versus the ~$500
savings your talking between a Cisco 2501 and a FreeBSD router...
