I'm spec'ing out a replacement for my firewall, currently an old Nokia

with FreeBSD and this CPU?
I have three VIA C3 hosts on the little EPIA mini-itx mainboards sold
by www.idotpc.com, they seem to work perfectly. Been up about a year now.
However, they're on the end of a very slow DSL connection and support
perhaps the most obscure domains on the Internet, so the earlier poster's
observations about the NIC being inefficient of CPU cycles under high load
is entirely possible. Probably the toughest workout mine get is
an occasion make buildworld.
No complaints, they serve my purposes well.
