Not sure about > Zebra never got that far. Hi Craig, I wrote you quite a detailed reply in private yesterday but I'm a little bewildered at the zero response from you...? Unless you're overwhelmed by people trying to help. :-) With regards to Zebra, I have another suggestion: MRTd (http://www.merit.edu/~mrt/). This is a similar "Cisco style CLI" routing daemon which is probably a bit more stable than Zebra, although the latter does contain more latest and greatest features. FYI, I run a custom version of FreeBSD on my border which is connected to a TA220 ISDN modem using PPP to my upstreams. I use MRTd for BGP talk. I used to use gated, and it worked well, but once I started doing BGP globally it just became too limiting. If you need any assistance with MRTd (or the whole BGP thing) I'd be happy to help.
