6E1, yes. Sorry; it was last December. My friend was going to drop
by , but cancelled and was back in school before he remembered.

I asked the pfSense forum if I had enough memory and they said
yes. Wghat I've got should be fine assuming that everything is
put together correctly. My physical disabilities limit what i

as _possible_. Especially since I have two tower cases going
24*7. Plus the firewall Beast. :: be nice to get down to some
min footprint and get that much further into the green-zone!
