The 2501 seems to be a bit underpowered. Jordan switched out a Cisco 2501 for a 4000 at Walnut Creek a few months ago and things seem to work better after that. I think the FreeBSD+card would likely work out better for you, but that's more opinion than experiance. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
