For what it's worth, a client of mine has had a lot of trouble with the Foundry gigabit switch (fastiron?)...several of the ports have gone permanently dead and others go dead until you power cycle it. I've never had problems like that from the Alteon ACEswitch 180 that I have here. I've found Alteon products to be very solid all around and I personally think they are worth any extra money you may have to pay for them. I'd like to also point out that Alteon has been very kind to the FreeBSD Project - providing us with both documentation and hardware to develop a driver for their PCI GE interface. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
