This is an LEM list right? Think of the exciting time
your old 7100 can have as your NEW router box! Get a
copy of IPNetRouter and install it on the Mac router
box.



The problem with this solution is that it costs three times more than a hardware router!

My experience: after using IPNR for a few years on a 6100 that was dedicated to only move data packets, I bought a D-Link DI-704. The following month my power bill was down about 7%. Mind you, the 6100 was running headless. Just the processor and the drive were active. I live in the PNW, so power here is somewhat less expensive than it is throughout much of the world.

Get a router. If you use a computer to switch packets, the energy use will pay for a router in about three months.
