Sender: owner-isp@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Yes, they are small, but even a 4MB card is plent to run routing services off of. There are several FreeBSD distributions out there that are "router floppies", where you fit everything you need onto a 1.4MB disk (except for gated, which is our problem). So you'd be in heaven with 4MB. Well, you're better than I am. ;-) In trying to get kernel, gated, basic Unix utilities, and remote access utilties (what, you wanna WALK to your router?) into a single place, I came up a wee bit bigger. In any case the flash disks run up to 190MB or so. Enough for a distribution, but not enough to have things vanilla. Tony
