Back in the day... I'd run a 486 for our 100 user T1 line company. Filtering packets is easy Any newer machine such as you spec'd will be just fine -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Grant Moby Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 8:11 AM To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi folks I need to setup a NetFilter/Linux firewall at my company, but I'm not sure what spec hardware box I need. There are about 100 users surfing the web, sending and receiving email over a 256k line, a couple of subnets, a DMZ, etc. I know it's always difficult to spec things like this, but if anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate some input. Otherwise, any feedback like "I run 500 users through a PIII with 128M RAM and the box is bearly keeping up" would be appreciated. Grant __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
