Intel Trident P133 motherboard no peripherals 3 two port Emerging Tech T1 cards 2 EtherPower SMC ethernet cards 1 512K chepo VGA card We are only doing a few megs a sec right now, and we are running FreeBSD 2.1.0 with the latest and greatest gated. We did need to make a few changes so it could peer with the RS at MAE-East. The box is vary stable, and they stay up for a few months and we then reboot them for some reason or other. If we are doing debugging and it crashes it needs to be reset, but we now use serial ports for console and can reboot them from home. If we are not running the debug kernel it will just reboot on it's own if it crashes. -- Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
