I help take care of a P1-200 with 96MB RAM that does firewalling, NAT, shaping, and load balancing for a T1 and a 6000/600 ADSL line. It never comes close to having to work hard. > I have a few old P III's (450 MHz, 256 RAM) and some VIA Eden (533 MHz, > 512 RAM) boxes lying around. Which one would be most appropriate ? Use whichever one you expect to be stable -- you don't want to have to deal with crashes. Otherwise, I would use the faster machine just because it'll be quicker to set up and administrate. -Corey _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
