In my experience I would say not to bother with one unless you intend
on doing high throughput SSL.
I've had nothing but issues using them on Soekris gear (but that was
many releases ago).
As for no blowfish, well that is a blessing as when the card locks up
and is very far away (like in another country) killing all forms of
crypto and related services (ie. ssh) and you can't get into manage
it, well that unaccelerated cipher saves your lunch (ie. ssh -c
blowfish [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Sure this saving grace was my fix to the previous issue so YMMV.

Hi,
I'm wondering what is the best crypto card to buy to use with
openbsd to do AES and blowfish and the SSL encryption.
Is this the best buy? http://www.soekris.com/vpn1401.htm
It mentions AES but not blowfish.
thanks
