The 1600 has proven to be the most unreliable piece of crap imaginable. The cisco router runs nat and firewall services currently, should be easy to replace with a fbsd box. I am wondering if it is possible to replace it with a fbsd machine? The problem I see with this is the connection of the csu/dsu to the router - it uses some funky block connector to plug into the cisco router. Is there a way to convert that block connector (I don't know the proper name for it), to plug into an ethernet card on the fbsd box? Or is there a pci card available for the fbsd box that will accept this funky block connector? -- Regards, -- Chip Wiegand Computer Services Simrad, Inc chip.wiegand@simrad.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
