Also i have 2 additional servers in two diffrent locations each has its own bzns, running DNS, email services, hosting, and hundreds of other services. Since i knew FreeBSD i never had to touch any cisco or any other creatures in general. except a HUB and some cables. :) However, I dunt know if you still need Cisco router or anyother machines, maybe as some gurus here wrote, depends on your needs. best of luck. and take a look on FreeBSD handbook, on www.freebsd.org maybe you will find the part you are looking for in routing or cisco that freebsd will do. best of luck Marwan Sultan > >Dear all, > > I want to know, between Cisco Router and a compiled of FreeBSD Router >which one is better?
