Hello Bruce, and thank you for your reply. Quoting "Bruce M.

That's good news. I'll have to see if I can get more info on that. I just purchased a "lot" of cisco *DSL/routers on ebay, in an effort to push this project forward (I can experiment on these with less concern). So my list of HW now includes: * 3 - 802's * 2 - 1604's * 1 - 1721 * 2 - 837's Thank you again for your input. --Chris > The PowerPC port has gone some way towards this, but I don't see folk > installing it on old Cisco hardware yet... unless the knowledge gets > out there. > > cheers > BMS > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
