Hi... Basicly, it's a T1 line full !! And for the connection, I'll use a m�dia converter (basic) and the machine will only do routing. Nothing else. The rest : VPN, Filtering, will be take care whith the PIX515 that's coming right after the router...
I know your next question, why don't I use the PIX to route the traffic ???? Because I need a non-protected zone just after the LinuxBox !!! By the way, the machine will be a PII 266 with 64Mb ram....with no vpn, it should be enough....I hope so !
