they do. but to be fair - their high end stuff with seperate data and control panes and, admittedly, line cards that do _way_ more than your network interface on a PC, can handle amounts of traffic we can't with the hardware we run on. That stuff, the real high end stuff that is not just built like a PeeCee, is of course not sold all that often, and it is not off-the-shelf hardware. that makes it, yes, expensive. and since it is all custome and closed yadda yadda there is close to zero chance we ever run on that gear. -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
