It's actually not so much the CPU as poor serial port design. My Sun 3/60, which is less than half the speed of that Sparc 1+, routes a 38,400 PPP connection just fine. If you can find an old 3/60 to dedicate to routing, that might be the better option. cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
