Hey all. I'm looking to get hold of a second hand 2514 (you know, 1RU, 2 ethernet ports) second hand. If anyone has one then let me know.

<stir> Just use a linux box. Cheaper, More features, More Secure, Easier to maintain. =) </stir> On Mon, Oct 30, 2000 at 04:49:29PM +1300, James Tyson wrote:

If you can find me a 1RU/half depth linux box with 2 NIC's for less than a 2500 then I will gratefully take it off your hands. :) --- James Tyson Moebius Systems Ltd http://www.moebius.co.nz/ --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
Simon Blake at Citylink has been building Linux routers that are about half the size of a 2500 for a while now. And they are cheap On Mon, Oct 30, 2000 at 05:07:13PM +1300, James Tyson wrote:

<blatant sales stuff> CityLink's Linux Router is about 1RU high, has 2 10/100 ethernet cards (may have up to 5 ports) and runs LRP, with a heap of added extras like BGP-4, IPSec, Nat, DHCP, SSH, whatever (sorry - I live with teenagers). We sell them for $2,000 +GST or rent them for $85 +GST per month. There is no disk drive and the only moving part is a small fan that is in the power supply. They use a Disk On Chip module and boot fairly quickly. Sorry they don't have serial ports, we tend to only think in terms of ethernet and fast. We have bigger versions of the router with up to 20 ports (for apartment buildings) and the current "new" model has GbE interfaces. (looks like 1xGbE and 12-16 10/100 for under $5k) Rackmounted etc and boots off compact flash. We have had it routing at around 400mbps but were testing between NT and Linux. Must do some more work on it........ If you want more info, call us on 04 917 0200. rich richard.naylor(a)citylink.co.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

And, of course the downside - the 5 port model isn't stable at the moment (the 2 port is rocksolid, we have uptimes of over a year now), and it isn't rack mountable - basically, an A4 book PC.
We sell them for $2,000 +GST or rent them for $85 +GST per month.
and it's also fair to say that if you fossick around for the right parts, you'll make one yourself for significantly less than that. Cheers Si --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
