Excellent.  Thanks.

We are also pretty happy with our GB-Flash.  We have it running on a celeron
800 with 128MB SDRAM (I know, only 64MB gets used, but memory is cheap these
days) and a DLINK 4 port NIC.  The box is handling a lot of traffic and some
seriously complex routing as well as having a whole (small) town full of DSL
customers running behind it now.  The box just keeps humming, doing
everything we ask it to and never a complaint. And, when I check the
processor, it never seems to be at more than 5-6% utilization...  amazing!

PS.  I don't know if there is any way to tell memory being used.  I am going
to check the monitor screen...
