Hi...
Basicly, it's a T1 line full !! And for the connection, I'll use a média
converter (basic) and the machine will only do routing. Nothing else. The
rest : VPN, Filtering, will be take care whith the PIX515 that's coming
right after the router...
I know your next question, why don't I use the PIX to route the traffic
???? Because I need a non-protected zone just after the LinuxBox !!!
By the way, the machine will be a PII 266 with 64Mb ram....with no vpn, it
should be enough....I hope so !

Eric,
How are you going to switch the interfaces? What I mean by that is
usually when you have anything above a 2610, you have a T1 point to point or
a frame line. How you going to interface with the CSU/DSU? Or are you just
routing traffic around your ethernet?
I wouldn't get an old box. Try to aim for a PII, 256Mb ram. If you
implement any VPN solutions on that box, it will take resources.
