Any comments or experiences? We peer with 30+ networks at the LINX in London using a P120 with 64 MB of memory and three DEC 10/100 cards, two of which are connected to 100 Mbps Ethernet switches. We run gated with BGP4 and OSPF. The setup is very stable. We used to use a 486 but replaced it with the P120 a year or so ago because the Asus T2P4 motherboard supports ECC. -- Jim Dixon VBCnet GB Ltd http://www.vbc.net tel +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015
