[Linux may not cope with the load of a T3]
According to tytso, you can drive two serial lines at 115Kbps
simultaneously on a 386 under Linux. That's at least one interrupt
per sixteen bytes, usually more. With networks you get an interrupt
for every packet, say 1K. That's 1/64 the interrupt load. I see no
reason why a Pentium should not be able to keep up with a T3. After
all, the firewalling and NAT is all done in the kernel, there are no
user processes to wake up.
