Thanks for the info. I will check it out. I'd be interested in the Netgate 4100 but its just pricey.

What kind of cost are those boxes? I did a quick glance and I saw some going for > $1k.

Well this definitely stinks. I had high hopes to grab something like this and use it as a pfsense appliance. With this experience, I am not likely to do that now. I have been looking for dependable alternatives but there doesn't seem to be many good ones. Seems like the Netgate devices are...
