Hi. I've been using net4801s and a net5501 as broadband routers for use at home for some time now.
Generally great and fun. There's just one down side: these boxes are not completely silent, in that they make a strange hissing sound while they're doing actual work (like routing network traffic). I therefore can't really use these boxes for workloads that pump a constant or pulsating amount of traffic through them because the hissing (even though its really not that loud) would drive me bonkers. So here's a sanity check: are my boxes the only-ones doing this? What's causing it? I thought it was the CPU but given that the 4801s and the 5501 have a different CPU (OK so they're both Geodes) I was thinking perhaps not? Is there anything I can do to stop the hissing? Of course I'm aware of the wondrous effects of noise insulation afforded by putting boxes in a different room than where I am; not what I'm asking. Thanks, Jan _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
