I'm using openbsd now but have ran freebsd as a router with minimal hardware. P133 32 megs of ram. 30 dollar box. 4 network cards. Based on prior discussions regarding minimal hardware, I think the main thing to pay attention to is the type and brand of network cards you are going to be using. I would stay away from those interrupter from hell rl0 cards. You won't be able to budge a 30-40 dollar pentium box with 32 or more megs of ram with your cable modem connection. -- Matthew Bettinger System Administrator Champion Elevators, Inc.
