Thanks for all the excellent replies to this question. Dinesh's answer looks like exactly what I'm experiencing. Unfortunately I can't use FreeBSD 4, because I don't think FASTIPSEC with the HiFn card is supported there. I tried with OpenBSD 3.8 and got similar performance to FreeBSD. I might try NetBSD in the weekend, someone mentioned that, and it's probably a good idea. Oh well, at the moment we've only got a 2Mbit link anyway, so they should suffice for a couple of years.
