Of course, great software is useless if the hardware sucks. If you've got
the rack space for it, an old HP Netserver LPR would do such a good job.
They're are rock solid. You can get them for practically free (but the
shipping charges can hurt!).

I agree...it's hard to disagree with $400 for all that. Cisco has a
repuation for reliability but sometimes companys cut corners when trying
to be competitive on the market. I'd poke around reviews and complaints
and make sure this isn't a lemon.
