Karl, you really should check into the ET products. Dennis has been active on some of the ISP mailing lists that I don't think you follow any more and has certainly proven that he understands WAN technology inside out and that his products (which include a lot of software components) really are darn good. I've seen him giving support to customers and seen quite a few customer testimonials and descriptions of how they are using the ET cards. One guy even has a FreeBSD box with ET cards sitting at MAE-East as his gateway router peering with several NSP's. In fact, I can't help comparing both you, Karl, and Dennis (of ET) because you both come across on these mailing lists as incredibly competent technically with a tendency to arrogance that leads occasionaly to mild flamewars when you chew out somebody who hasn't got a clue and makes some stupid comment or other. This isn't bad, mind you, and in my 20 years of experience in the computer industry I have found that it's a good indicator that you are dealing with a real expert. I urge everyone to check out http://www.etinc.com and consider using their products. They are especially useful to people that want "total control" over their systems because ET cards in a FreeBSD box make it possible to get much closer to that ideal.
