+1 for RouterOS here<br>
<br>
You are right, x86 is essentially a Linux distro, but once you learn
both the web/winbox interface and CLI operation it's very easy to
manage, the API is also quite handy for a lot of different things.<br>
<br>
Purpose built MikroTik routers are great though, use a lot of
RB1100AHx2's as edge routers now with OSPF + iBGP with no fault
found yet, and now looking at the newer 'Cloud Core' kit for eBGP
and peering. They are quite inexpensive too when you compare to a
lot of other hardware vendors.<br>

are in the Sydney area, hit me up off list if you want to
borrow any of their kit. I have a whole bunch of
their RouterBOARD's sitting at my home being unused at the
moment. Of interest, I have around three RB411U's that are
not used, as well as a bunch of their routers & wireless
gear (although that is all Ubiquity gear…).</span></font></div>
