Oh perhaps it was somewhat climate and housing related then. I suppose it depends on your use case. If you don't cause any load on them I am sure they are fine.
Which OS would that be? There are many things that are great about Linux but I find your use of the term "modern" somewhat confusing. Whether you are talking about the kernel or the user land would we really say that Linux is modern? Free, powerful, familiar, robust, ? I mean of the packaged router in a box systems I think it is really hard to beat pfsense. And I have used most of them. That said if you are gonna do it all from the command line it probably doesn't matter which one you use if it has crypto library support for the onboard chipset. The hope with these boards was that they had the cpu to do the vpn and routing we needed at the time. If properly tuned they would just get by. But given the hot climate they were installed in perhaps the case and complete packaging where at fault there. I mean they are sort of between a full PC router and a linksys class OpenWRT box. There was basically one OpenVPN setting that would work with the on board accelerator. The rest would work but could only push like 50-80Kbits between the links. No crypto was 2Mbit as was the one compatible library setting. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
