I'd say don't do anything that would move much data back and forth in I/O, I believe the last time I did this was back on an old Gateway 486. Moving that squid/dns/fileserver back to a pentium II was the best upgrade. Packet filtering wise, I'd say compared to what I get from chips like Geode and such, 2 megabit probably, depending on what you're doing. Filtering bridge was able to top me off at like 10 megabit I think. Good idea. Thanx! I'll try that.
But doesn't FreeBSD configure things for specific hardware when installed on one computer? And does it work if install on a new generation 386?
In general yes, however when a system is older than a 486, an older version of bsd is required I believe. -- Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
