I think an anti-spam BOF (or BOFH? :) ) would be a great idea. Its
clear that this is a very touchy subject (heh, yes, I read NANAE :) ),
and it would definately be illuminating for both customers and
providers.
Jordan, is there a BOF organizer for FreeBSD CON? Or is it just a
organize it as you go structure? Do we even have rooms reserved for
the evenings where BOFs could be held?
(And, no, I'm not volunteering :) )

Unfortunately, I don't know a BSD box that can handle aggregating OC3
or higher :( You fast run into the PCI bus wall. That and our routing
ppl sorta like Cisco, for some unknown reason.
