    Hi Everyone,

    I am building a gateway/router from a i386 300Mhz, 32MB RAM, 5GB hda and
    ~ I need to buy the NIC cards. I wanted to have three interface
    connection points to my gateway/router. Does anyone have any suggestions
    on the type of NIC I should use? I would appreciate some help.

    In addition, I'm new to BSD. I hail from the Redhat world, but I
    anticipate FreeBSD to be a great addition to my network.

    HZS
