I've been looking for information on making a FreeBSD box into a T1 router,
I would assume with multiple V.35 cards and an advanced routing daemon. Has
anyone tried this? Success stories, horror stories, I'd like to here them!
As great as FreeBSD and NetBSD are, a T1 connection and some V.35
cards does not a Cisco 7000 make! Those 7000's are hellishly fast
real-time switches, with multi-hundred megabyte bandwidth data busses.
Now, you might be able to make a pretty fine router out of a *BSD box,
but it will not be a Cisco 7000. :-)
