I'm planning to switch from ISC Unix to one of the BSD versions on
this 486 box.  The machine is directly connected to the Internet, so
TCP/IP performance and reliability are very important.

Without starting another War of the BSDs, can anyone give any experience
about the relative TCP/IP performance and reliability of Netbsd, Freebsd,
or BSDI?
