Yikes!
For the same money you could buy a new Nokia 650 rated at 90 Mb/s. This
would also get you traffic shaping (nice feature for controlling
traffic).
Not to mention it comes pre-configured to be a firewall (FreeBSD + CP
Firewall-1) so out of the box it is optimized and ready to go.
You also avoid all of those "which version/patches of Firewall-1 support
which versions of Solaris" problems. ;)
Cheers,
Chris
