Re: {Spam?} Honeywall running on SPARC?

[Haris Koutsouris <harisk () epmhs gr>]

exactly my point. Furthermore, i had in mind an sbus architecture while 
an ultra 5 has pci bus which makes it feasible to add extra ethernets.

But i still wonder if it makes any sence to pursue any other 
architectures than i386 or perhaps X86_64. I think it would be a waste 
of resources. Any thoughts ???
