FreeBSD router

[Marwan Sultan]

Hello Richard,

  I have been using FreeBSD since 1998 and never had to use cisco,
  Freebsd has a great builtin features,
  I'm Using Freebsd for a hotspotlogin, with no external servers from 
anykind,
  Its my radius, router, ipfw, internetspot login, NAT and port directions.

  Also i have 2 additional servers in two diffrent locations each has its 
own bzns, running
  DNS, email services, hosting, and hundreds of other services.

  Since i knew FreeBSD i never had to touch any cisco or any other creatures 
in general.
  except a HUB and some cables. :)

  However,
  I dunt know if you still need Cisco router or anyother machines,
  maybe as some gurus here wrote, depends on your needs.

  best of luck.
  and take a look on FreeBSD handbook, on www.freebsd.org
  maybe you will find the part you are looking for in routing or cisco that 
freebsd will do.

  best of luck

  Marwan Sultan
