yep even if you wanted to do an encrypted vpn link. I found this page awhile back. It is vpn specific but should give you some understanding of requirements. Bottom line is if all you are going to do is firewalling then you coupl probab;y keep up with an ADSL link with a fairly speedy 486. P120 will give you lots of cycles left to play with. http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.95/doc/performance.html Bret _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
