Have a client that needs to provide access to a number of stores, maximum of 8 at a time. Currently has a two ports available on an NT server, and a number on an AS400 for inventory management. Solution would be throw a coule of cheap FreeBSD boxes in there with 2+ modems each. What isthe maximum number that you could reasonably pack into a single FreeBSD box without running into resource problems? Easy solution would be to install a Cisco 2509 or something, but that may be overkill. Thoughts?
