It was the company Linux firewall. I am about to turn it into the company FreeBSD firewall, but I need some opinions on the hardware spec's suitability: The hardware is a Pentium 166 on a VERY strange board. There are 7 pci slots, 5 ISA slots, and 2 what look like VLBus slots. The link that is plugging into it is a 2Mb link. Will this hardware be suitable as a FreeBSD firewall running ipf ?
