given that a BSD/386 or NetBSD system can be put together quite cheaply and
does a fine job at handling PPP and SLIP and multiple ethernets, this seems
like a fine alternative to dedicated routers like Cisco for T1/E1-speed
internet gateways.  especially considering the power of GateD 3.5, and that
a 16MB cisco can't handle a "full internet route table" while a 16MB i486
machine can do it easily.
...

Comments from the gated crowd?  The cisco crowd?
