I'd say don't do anything that would move much data back and forth in I/O, I believe the last time I did this was back on an old Gateway 486. Moving that squid/dns/fileserver back to a pentium II was the best upgrade. Packet filtering wise, I'd say compared to what I get from chips like Geode and such, 2 megabit probably, depending on what you're doing. Filtering bridge was able to top me off at like 10 megabit I think. Good idea. Thanx! I'll try that. > But doesn't FreeBSD configure things for specific hardware when installed > on > one computer? And does it work if install on a new generation 386? In general yes, however when a system is older than a 486, an older version of bsd is required I believe. -- Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.
