no. i don't think a unix kernel can context switch that fast. maybe a
dec alpha could do it, and i'd love to try it on a 90MHz pentium. but on
a 486DX2-66 with two DMA ethernet controllers...

...it's faster than a T1 but not by much. with an average mix of packet
sizes (some max, some min, most ~1K) it'll do about an E1 worth of bandwidth.
i'm not on the firewalls list so if you want me to see your replies to this,
please cc me.
