I'm looking to use a PC running FreeBSD as a router/gateway on a small
network. Question is, what kinda CPU horsepower do I really need to
forward packets between half a dozen 'puters? Do I need a 486dx50? or
is that overkill; can I get away with a 386-40 or a 486-33?
I'm going to be using 16-bit bus-mastering ethernet cards, if that helps.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
