Management could also be done via SNMP, but not to the ease of Cisco. Thoughts? I'd use my current router as-is, but FreeBSD lacks DECnet bits. :( What about using dynamips, a Cisco emulator? GNS3 is a beautiful GUI front end for it. I've never tried decnet through it, but I have used it to route between several virtual machines. I have absolutely no experience with Cisco stuff, hmmm. Perhaps I could learn using dynamips, it'd be easier than re-learning all of Vyatta. Ian
