Unless, of course, you are struck with that blight called PPP over
Ethernet, which is regularly inflicted upon its customers by the German
telephone company. The user-space implementation sucks such an ungodly
amount of CPU time that I had to get myself a Classic just to be able to
saturate my 768kbps link -- the IPX I had before that would only do
about 50kbps over the link. Granted that a Classic is not what you'd
consider a lightning fast box nowadays, but just for routing purposes,
it should be able to saturate 10mbps easily.
