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... -- Rob === _/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/ Innovative Data Services Serving South-Eastern Michigan Internet Service Provider / Hardware Sales / Consulting Services Voice: (810)855-0404 / Fax: (810)855-3268 / Web: http://www.id.net
