We had a router die this weekend and need to replace it with a new one.

Currently the Internet connection is a Fractional Frame Relay T-1.
In the future it would be nice to have the ability to be able to expand
to multihomed (at least 2 T-1 speed connections) with 2 Ethernet connections.
With full BGP / OSPF, etc.

I'm looking for the pros and cons of using a PC with FreeBSD (+ who's Sync
V.35 Frame Card?) vs a Cisco / Livingston / etc.

Any and all comments are welcome...

Please E-Mail your replys & Thanks In Advance!
