PII boxes should be able to handle quite a few sessions and a decent amount of throughput. This post from Manuel shows some specs on WRAP (233 MHz) and Soekris 4501 (486 133 MHz) and 4801 (233 MHz): http://m0n0.ch/wall/list/?action=show_msg&actionargs[]=62&actionargs[]=57 You don't mention what the speed is, but a PII 233 should be in line with the WRAP and 4801 numbers (probably a bit higher), while a PII 450 should go at least a little higher than that. -Chris |
