I dont need Gigabit bandwith, just gb connectivity. I hope i can make this work with a soekris box as i only have heard good things bout those till now. Id like to avoid building the box by myself utilizing cheap itx mainboard & peripherals. Ill have a look at those commell mp-541-d). thanks gerald > _______________________________________________ > Soekris-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech -- _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
