I was just curious how it would run on faster equipment for a theoretical max, all the benchmarks I have seen on it talks about turning an 8088-0 into a router, not a P90. I figured that pc-route whether reliable or not addresses as many of the software issues in terms of overhead that can be, cleanly. This is of course assuming that someone can get it to run long enough to do a benchmark on it. :) -Jerry.
