It runs a 22 rule set and NAT. (plus qmail, ssh, etc) You could probably just find this kind of hardware behind a computer store. The machine never pages, never drops under 90% idle cpu time. My connection is a 300K down/128K up DSL line. -Dean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
