I don't do sync serial on anything.  As result, I don't know much about
the sync serial devices that are available.


Gigabyte MB (Don't remember the exact model)
256M PC100 memory
PIII 450 (I believe.  It might be a 500.  Don't remember.)  
ForeRunner 200E OC3 cards
Netgear GA620 GigaE cards
DLINK DFE570TX 4-port FastE cards

Redhat Linux
ATM-0.78        http://icawww1.epfl.ch/linux-atm/dist.html 
Zebra 0.89      http://www.zebra.org


I have built 6 linux routers either for use in our network or for
customers who couldn't afford Cisco or Juniper gear.  They're all BGP 
speakers with an average of 90K prefixes and 3 peers.

Here is the output of sh ip bgp sum on one of these routers:
