They are very expensive.
A Juniper is not based on FreeBSD. It uses FreeBSD as the
control interface. The actual routing happens in specialized
ASICS that Juniper custom-builds.
good for multiple gigabits traffic or more. for lower speed - not worth
of.

Six slots X quad-port network cards = 24 interfaces.
If you need more than that, it's probably worth investing in

not true. 5 PCI slots isn't uncommon+ISA slots. ISA slot is OK for video
