Lots of good comments here. I have seen a befsx (newer than the befsr) which could not keep up with a cable internet connection - reduced d/l by 20% or so. This was a nominal 30 Mb/s d/l and the router was definitely the bottleneck. The primary firewall, linux with over 30,000 rules has no such issue - its a 3 Ghz Pentium D with 3com 905 C ethernet controllers. gene -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
