We've beaten out packeteer many times with our ~2400. solution which runs either freebsd or LINUX. Our soon to be released next verison includes per-rule burst settings, integrated policy routing and an embedded snmp client for gathering and charting data with a nice gui interface. Our boxes run as bridges, so you get the functionality of a switch as well with some multiport cards. We also have it running on a cobalt raq so if you like a completely web managable box (albeit running linux) we have that also...for a few extra bucks but still a lot cheaper than the packetshaper. You can also roll your own for $595. for just the software. www.etinc.com Dennis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
