Well, of course you can have an ATM interface on a FreeBSD box - use e.g. Fore PCA200e card (155Mbps OC3c, either single- or multi-mode fiber). Any machine above Pentium 166, running fairly recent FreeBSD 3.0 will be able to saturate the link. The cost compared to Cisco 47xx is quite competitive... :-) Andrzej Bialecki -------------------- ++-------++ ------------------------------------- <abial@nask.pl> ||PicoBSD|| FreeBSD in your pocket?
