[SunRescue] qfe on LX, Classic, or IPX?

I've only heard peripheral complaints about using QFE boards on Sun4m
(LX/Classic) but I do know people are using them.  I'm not sure if they work
on Sun4c (IPX).

As for using this to build and filter/NAT box it all depends on how many
users you are going to have on it.

I've looked around for data on this for my home network and unless you're
running 200+ users the LX or Classic should be fine.  I would suggest
running something other than Solaris on the box though.  A lot of people run
NetBSD or OpenBSD on those machines because it runs a little faster than
Solaris.

Just my $.02. ;-)
