I'm surprised nobody pointed out -- there was an article on ARS technica a while back about using an Ultra as a Fastrak. Turns out, you need to flash the Fastrak BIOS, and change a jumper on the board *underneath* the BIOS chip (gotta unsolder, etc.) Then somebody noticed it was just a 1K pullup resistor, so you could just solder a 100 ohm on top and swamp the original pup. Don't know if promise has taken any action since... On another subject: Roadrunner and FreeBSD: I've had that running since RR was first available here (2 yrs or so now.) If you find you are timing out your leases, check your firewall rules. I'm away from home, so I can't check mine, but I had to allow UDP to the subnet the DHCP server is on (and it had moved here, recently). Brought that to a screeching halt. Works great.
