This discussion is getting really stupid......

Look...all of the mentioned product work fine...if they didnt they none
of us would be in business. The original question of cisco 25XX  vs
ET is a simple one......

1) you dont have to know unix to use a cisco 
2) Ciscos are fine if you have 1 ethernet and 1 T1. More than that
they have questionable horsepower....
2) cisco are just routers....Freebsd boxes are servers also and 
clearly more flexible and expandable.

As for which card to buy...different vendors have different options
and features and prices. You have to do your homework to determine
which you prefer.
