I've been using a couple of Netra T1 105's for a while and have been very pleased with the performance so far. Haven't had OpenBSD on them too long....since the start of 3.6. Only had one issue so far and it was a problem somewhere between the keyboard and chair. We are using ours in a database driven DNS system. Still in development, but so far rock solid. You should be fine running VPN and firewall on this system. I don't believe they have IDE controllers on these servers. You may also want to add some RAM, ours have 384MB and are great.

Spec as follows; 64bit 360mhz CPU (IIi) 128mb RAM 1 x 18gb 10krpm 2 x integrated NIC 1x PCI (which I intend to put a dual port compaq/intel NIC in) Basically, I have a low traffic mail and web server behind this firewall it also is my OpenVPN server for one VPN. I have around 90 pf rules. I may even chuck a squid cache on it given its got heaps of free disk. Lastly, does anyone know if these have a 40 pin IDE connector for the optional CDROM and if so do you reckon it would be able to boot from a compact flash ? Cheers in advance. Brian.
