Haven't tried 100Mb yet but the best bet seems to be cards based on the DEC Tulip chipset - like the SMC EtherPower 10/100 > It would need to run gated & take a full routing table ( >37K routes).

I'll let you know in a week or two :-) I've almost finished getting gated 3.6a2 going under Debian. Large routing table don't appear to be a problem as of 1.3.x as a new radix tree-like method was implemented. Indeed I've been let to believe that 37K routes would only take up about 8Mb of memory. I'm planning to buy a Sangoma sync card and try full BGP4 peering with it via a new Internet link I'm going to order. Then I'll be building another box to connect to VBC ;-) Drop me a private email and I'll bring you up to speed.
