I've installed OpenBSD on both a WRAP and a Soekris. Basically, the 3 port ethernet WRAP model compares very well with the soekris 4801. The soekris does have an full size PCI slot, allowing you to add up to 4 more ethernet interfaces and a laptop IDE bus, allowing you to add a 2.5" IDE drive. Both let you plug in a CF card or micro drive, both have 3 10/100 NICs, can PXE boot, have a mini PCI slot, same CPU, same RAM etc, etc. The WRAP with case can be had for $146 USD, the Soekris 4801 with case for $240 USD. For me, the laptop drive is largely worthless--more noise and uses more power, so I exlude that from my value equation. CF cards and microdrives are more than adequate. So, unless you need more than 3 ethernet NICs, why pay $100 more for esentially the same hardware? -Matt PS: wasn't this just on the list like last month? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

Gigabit NICs for Soekris hardware
Good evening all Has anyone found a Gigabit NIC that works in a Soekris 4801? Bonus points if its small enough to fit in one of their cases as well. thanks -Matt Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

You could confirm that--I'm guessing every machine in your LAN has a default gw of .120, your router? And your router believes that it is directly connected to your LAN? If not, then everyone else is right--your network is screwed and you're lucky it's lasted this long. > > I known we could use a network bridge, but we need > the caching > > nameserver functionality. Setting up a machine to brige does not exclude it from running as a nameserver, if you must still do this [0]. Off the top of my head, create a bridge with your $inif and $outif on your replacement machine. Inif doesn't need to have an IP on it. Bind your nameserver to outif. Setup your filter rules as you need them. -Matt ps. Just because something is a bridge doesn't mean that it can't have IP addresses.

> Hands up, yet another person with a personal E450 > that was retired (from a > bank!! 8-)) > > I should go back and get some hard drives for it. > > Remember, the power supply handles are NOT load > bearing! 8-) Hey all you guys with those 450s and 250s-- If any of you would be willing to part with said computer and if any devs would find that hardware useful, I would be more than happy to help pay for, perhaps even pay for all of, the shipping costs to get it to a developer. Just let me know, and I'll start things. Thanks guys! To the gentleman who started this thread-- Did you see how easy that was? So you can't code in C. Big deal, neither can I. I try my damnedest to help in other ways. I've bought the past 4 or so releases, I donated money to help with Mac G5 support, and I donated to help replace the dead Alpha build machine--nevermind that I don't, haven't, and likely never will own an Alpha or G5 machine. You clearly have an itch you would like to scratch. You have two options: A) Code yourself (by your own admission, this isn't likely) B) Donate. Now, it isn't my money, but a donation doesn't seem that outrageous. Your company spent $125,000 on a single machine. What did the Solaris support/license cost back in 2001? What if instead you took a 1/3rd, 1/5th, 1/10th of that money, wrote that check out to Theo and said, "Keep up the good work and make it better." Just a thought. -Matt Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Sun SMP Hardware [was RE: Version 4.0 release ]
Good morning all I've gotten a few replies with people interested in parting with E450s, 250s, 280s, and 220s (I have an Ultra 2 to throw onto the pile, for what its worth). So far, every reply has been, "It's yours if you pay to ship it." If any devs would find any of these useful, or know of a dev who would find them useful, please let me know. I'm happy to get this rolling--either by myself or with the help of others. -Matt Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

MIPS based routerboard machines
Good afternoon all Is there any interest in supporting the MIPS based routerboard hardware? If there is, I would be happy to buy a board or two and throw it at whoever might interested in making such a thing happen. Past that, I lack the required skills to code it myself. I'd be willing to just generally throw some money at someone if it would help. Just please be gentle on my wallet, I have a wedding to pay for ;-) Thanks guys -Matt Sponsored Link Don't quit your job - take classes online www.Classesusa.com
