I've been looking at something like that, or the MSI IM-945GSE. http://www.orbitmicro.com/global/ms-9830-010-p-9546.html?ref=base The MSI board has 2x Intel gigabit NICs I like the SuperMicro box though, especially the short 1U case, would be perfect for telco/2-post racks. I'd only question the NIC support, and it seems like that might be ok now: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=123123 That went in before 7.2 was out, so you'd probably need a 1.2.3-RC2 snap. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
