Hello all. My place o' business is considering getting a T1. Half of the T will be used for data (512kbps) and the other half will be used for voice. Currently we're using crappy cable modem service provided by a crappy cable company. Anyway, the T will come from Sprint. Sprint has suggested we get a Cisco router but personally I think that would be serious overkill. The T would be serving 8 people, possibly more (but not much more) in the future. There won't be a hell of a lot of traffic over it; most of it will be inbound email, such as from this list! ;-) My question is: is anyone using or has anyone used a Linux box for routing in a similiar situation? If so, what kind of performance have you seen? Or better yet, is there any reason NOT to use Linux box in such a situation? If we were to get a Cisco router it would probably be leased from Sprint and be under their control. I'd like to avoid this; the point of getting the T is for reliability and to avoid having to rely on an outside party should there be a problem.
