Within the next few months, i will be needing to set up a router for our internal network, tying together 7 networks, with some room to grow. I plan on buying a rather expensive chassis from Industrial Computer source. It has an interesting partially-passive backplane with a PII-233 or faster and chipset mounted on it (LX or BX chipset, I believe) with everything else on a daughtercard and 9PCI/8ISA slots. Something like the model 7520K9-44H-B4 with redundant power supplies. Hmm.. we have a few bsdi-systems with 5 or 6 ethernet cards in it in several places in our network. This we would not do anymore though. There are no real problems with these machines, but why not get a nice cisco to do your routing? They might be a bit ore expensive but certainly do their job well. Just my 2ct, though, FrankE To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
