I am using one with a 6 meg DS3, and it has very little loss.  I see
upwards of 5.7mbps on the line at times.  I am running on a Nokia
IP330, which has AMD K6-2, with 256 megs of ram, and a cheap little 11
gig maxtor drive.

I have no extra services running, just using as a firewall, and LOVING IT!!

It did take some smacking around to get it installed on the Nokia,
but, hey, isn't that what REALLY makes this all fun :o)

seeing a lot of boxes from a vendor that are failing when bombarded with heavy traffic.  These boxes
just happen to have VIA 1ghz CPUs - Intel Based boxes with the same firmware do not have the
problem.

just can't handle the load.  So if you are noticing hand when there is a lot of load I would
recommend trying a different hardware base.
