I'm interested to know what hardware requirement(s) of PCRouter by FreeBSD? I see mostly 486 or Pentium motherboards and add some Ethernet cards at all. Which one best for PCrouter: IDE or SCSI hard drive? 500mb or 1.2 gb SCSI or IDE HD? How much RAMs to runnin' the pcrouter? Or Am I miss something require for pcrouter? I know that pcrouter requires CSU/DSU, does the pcrouter can handle T-1 line? Is there any good CSU/DSU more affordable? Any one out there who have PCrouter run by FreeBSD, any problems? so e-mail me at gunnery@digital.net
