    As I said, we are talking about 5-10Mbit bandwith, NIC performance is not
    so important (however, I use fxp(4) and dc(4) everywhere:)).
    In this case, CPU power may be quite significant because of encryption.
    That's why I'm looking for feedback from sysadmins of PPTP or PPPoE hubs
    utilizong mpd or poptop, working in production environment.
    Just to know, what can I expect from my old Celeron 300MHz etc., before
    I decide to touch this. :)
