Re: Hardware recommendations for a Debian version of IPCop

Hi,

I bought it on https://www.newit.co.uk
Already 2 years ago...
there are some new models now.

Dreamplug with 2 USB 2.0 and 2 Gigabit Ethernet, eSata

But you might want to look at the openRD Ultimate...
7 USB 2.0, 2 Gigabit Ethernet, 1 PCIe (for your extra NIC),
RS-485 (obviously console)

No extrapoints, because it has sound and VGA - but if i got the 
description right, those can be disabled during power-on
