[Soekris] Determining board revision

2011-05-13 Thread Devin Reade
Is there any way to determine the board revision for a 5501 other than cracking open the case? In particular, can this information be retrieved remotely via the serial port? Devin ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com

[Soekris] IPSec without a crypto card?

2007-11-02 Thread Devin Reade
I have a need to deploy a number of router/firewalls to remote sites where having an appliance with no moving parts is desirable, so I was thinking about using Soekris boxes for the purpose. The planned configuration is not uncommon: net5501-70 OpenBSD installed on a CF card, with
