(sorry for screwing up the thread; I'm on the daily digest list. Please
CC responses to me as well).
Hey,
I have two machines who are recent, high end, PCI-Express, single CPU
dualcore, but unfortunately one's AMD, one's Intel, and I can't find the
actual specs as of this moment. I purchased these to experiment with
speedy PF firewalls but haven't had the time to actually use them. Also
have PCI Express fiber and dual copper syskonnect and intel NICs that go
with them.
It's a long way to germany from here... If no other company can or will
step up, I'll whine, cry, and throw puppydog eyes at my superiors until
we can get Henning the hardware he needs, as quickly as possible.
I've been occasionally pushing over 1.6 gigabits of transfer over PF
recently, and eventually want to start using OpenBGPD routers and the
like. I've used many, other hardware platforms for routing and
firewalling. They all suck, trust me.
We can talk details off list, but I want to throw this out into the open
this time.
Please, I have no clue how many corporate types would get wind of posts
to openbsd-misc, but it's not that big of an investment to send some
hardware. It feels real nice to get the right equipment into the right
hands. Take your accountant out to a nice lunch, they'll be more
understanding of having to do the extra paperwork.
In my case, these machines (unfortunately not ideal ones?) are in the
wrong hands, my hands, and should probably change.
