Anyone have first hand experience, pitfalls, or comments regarding using a
freebsd box as a simple RAS for multiple remote dialin lines.

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?

Dave
