I'm mostly just a lurker here, but with recent discussion just wanted to toss this question out to the community/vendors. My preferences are.. a) low thermals (maybe sbc) b) routes 100-200Mbps with shaping c) 1U-4U rack mountable factor d) not sparc, alpha or mips based e) pci-x /pcie slot so I can put some quad port nic (open to suggestions) f) priced between 300-1000 USD g) serial port preferably with bios level access Looking at the vyatta project, which was recommended by a senior person on this list, they are currently supporting Dell 860's. Which fits some of the requirements, but I'm open to different vendors such as Tyan. Routerboard and soekris 4801 with my limited testing couldn't push enough bandwidth otherwise they'd be a nice fit. Feel free to email me off list if you think this is too OT. Thanks in advance!
