If you just want to share your internet, an older computer, wrap board, Nokia IP330 box, etc will
work fine. I can get 22mb through a 167mhz 64mb ram nokia ip330 box. I'm sharing DSL connection on
10 machines with no issues. I see cpu utilization around 2-3 percent with normal web browsing.
Routing lan to lan traffic it will max out like I said at 22mb with 90 percent cpu utilization. It
just depends on the bandwidth you need.

I am thinking of using Monowall as a replacement for our current Watchguard
Firebox.

We have 70 users and host our own own email server.  We use webmail
extensively.

What hardware would people recommend for using Monowall on a network of our
size?

I've been looking at the hardware supplied by Logic Supply.  What type of
network environments have others put monowall to use with?
