Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2003 10:12:16 -0800 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Paul Hoffman Subject: How important is CPU speed for a bridging NAT box? Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings again. I'm about to set up a box that is dedicated as a bridging NAT and firewall. I was going to use an old P133 box I had laying around. Will this be fast enough for typical Internet access at 384Kbps if the box isn't doing anything else, or do I need a faster machine? --Paul Hoffman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
