[olug] OT: Used Routers

[Curtis LaMasters]

I would vote pfSense for your home net.  I doubt you have any
stability issues as I am running 25 down /1.5 up or what one of my
client's does (100Mb). I run my home firewall off of an Intel whitebox
PIII 1ghz with 1Gb of RAM and my client runs a IronSystems built VIA
C7D 1.5Ghz with 2Gb of RAM.
