Re: Hardware recommendations for compact 1U firewall

While everybody is talking about hardware, I noticed that some of you have flicked your Soekris Net 5501 boards. We are upgrading from 20Mbps links to 100Mbps links and as a result of this discussion, I am wondering whether it would be a wise move on or part to consider replacing them. Rock
