Mike and all We have 4 Alpha system up and running at their office for transparent FW, DNS and a NAT system, "OpenBSD 3.3-current (GENERIC) #23: Fri Jun 20 21:03:18 MDT 2003". There has been no problems with these machines besides the death of aging components on the Alpha systems. I got him to pickup qty. 6 of them from a local facility that shutdown an Alpha cluster. I chose Alpha's 'cause even if there was a root exploit against OpenBSD most script kiddies wouldn't have Alpha binaries laying around. He purchased a couple of Soekris boxes last Spring but I didn't get around to bringing them up 'cause my softball season started. :-) (I play about 100 games in a 5 month period every year) I've been helping this guy out for free for the last 5 years. First because he couldn't afford my labor rate, second 'cause I'm no longer a consultant and don't want to be called at my day job office. Softball season ends next weekend and I'm going to bring 3.8 up on the Soekrises as redundant firewalls. So yes, we're looking forward to getting 3.8 up and running. diana PS I'm going to miss the Alpha's.
