Anyone can bottom feed. I used to beat the 2500 on a 386 PC running KA9Q NOS two years before the 2500 was released. One of the original things I did with FreeBSD was to make a router-on-a-floppy build, which included NTP. However, if you're a bank or an oil company, you might be using different measurements than I was about what made a suitable router. I get a little tired of the "gold brick" line about Cisco routers. If you can find something that meets your needs thats less expensive (in terms of TCO), please go buy it. Its only that sort of pressure that can keep any company competitive. | Kenton A.
