200 MHz ought to be plenty for a typical home connection. The FreeSWAN folks found that a 150 MHz Pentium Doorstop was enough to keep a T1 line busy with 3DES - presumably AES is much faster. So either one should be good enough for most US DSL or cable modem connections, and they'll at least handle an 802.11b 2 MHz channel (yeah, the stuff says 10 Mbps, but you either need 802.11g or .11a or really good tuning to actually get that), and they'll probably go faster. ---- Bill Stewart bill.stewart@pobox.com
