Yes, we are! :)

Hmmm, we have 16 connections running off a P120 with 192Mb of RAM (it's also
our main web server / ftp server etc.) - no problems so far...

I'd guess anything your going to build today (i.e. P200? P2-Something) is
going to be more than quick enough...

The Z series cards are very good... I can't remember all the differences
between Y and Z, but Z is certainly good... <g>
