This used to be our webserver until it couldn't keep up with the 500,000 hits per month. The problem
was that we didn't have enough ram to support the database. Now this little guy lives at home with me
and is my primary in-house nameserver, as well as mail server for our apartment's domain.
Note the second NIC as well as the part numbers. The 905b card has a different chipset than the 90x so
the standard Vortex driver (vx0) does not work and you need to download the current FreeBSD driver
from Bill Paul's page.
Using a crossover cable with the P166 system only resulted in about 14
megabits per second, in case you were wondering, or in case you were trying to find a reason to buy a
Pentium II.
