Wait.. a Bay BCN will push 1 Gb/s through the box,

Bay's have beautiful hardware architectures. The hardware is not the problem.

but you are recommending a PC running GateD over a Bay router?

At the low end, sure. They're cheap as all hell, easy to remote manage, easy to expand, and very efficient. With the right software, they are pretty damn nice. Lots of NSPs use the things these days -- Daemon in the U.K. used to do nothing but BSD boxes last time I checked. Perry
