Vyatta.com (free) and also www.PFSense.org (free) both have support options. We shed our Cisco VAX 7200 - and have never looked back.
Cisco are expensive - think about it. A power PC 300mhz processor - $1K for 512mb of ram for some units... vs. $2K for an 8 Core Xeon system running 2.6Ghz 2MB cache and 16GB Ram Yeah - it handles what you throw at it for sure... AND - if you do it right - you dont even need a drive! _____________________________________________________________________________________ Glenn Kelley | Principle | HostMedic |www.HostMedic.com Email: gl...@hostmedic.com Pplease don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
