Although as I said originally, the only times our (FreeBSD) router has
gone down so far have been due to (in order)
1) power failure. (twice)
2) me rebooting to take the video card out because I didn't need it
3) me rebooting to put the video card back in, so I could leave some
crud flashin past on the screen for clients/management to feel happy
with. =)
