To my experience it is stable. I used a 43P-100 in the past as router /
firewall and for developement (compiling). I also used a 43P-140 but for
a short period only, zero problems. Besides some trouble with the
instalation / making the system disk bootable. Chek the archive for this
problems. I have a 43P-140 running at a "CoLo" providing development
services, again, zero problems.
