But soon, I will have to handle VPN Project from Cambodia to Singapore which got existing Cisco infrastructure. I think my customer will not choose FreeBSD for thier VPN Tunnel. But anyway, I want to know see whether some Internet Backbone or ISP used FreeBSD as thier Internet facilities as us or not. I hope we can be a good friend in FreeBSD. but I just start into it around 1 year.
