I suspect it'll serve up data as fast as anyone is likely to suck off it. :) it's a bit slow to get the ssh connection to at first; but still peppier than some of the SPARC 10s here. I will say that when I was running OpenBSD on it, it took a notable amount of time to hash the blowfish'ed passwords (at login). ;> let's not lose sight of what we used to be able to do with hardware a couple of years ago. :) Carl Soderstrom -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises (952) 943-8700
