Seconded for Pfsense -- although I doubt the Cisco hardware would be compatible with FreeBSD, and even if it is , I wouldn't want to use it in a production environment without thorough testing. If someone can provide more detailed hardware specs, including the chipsets and processor details of the cisco hardware , im sure we could realistically evaluate the feasibility. --- Kevin Systems Administrator www.stardothosting.com/linux-vps-hosting
