Hi all. Been running m0n0 for years on a WRAP board with no issues. That being said the pipe in our area is getting upgraded to 250+Mbps download speed in the next little while and I am certain that the trustly old WRAP board isn't going to handle that.

Does anyone have any suggestions for hardware that can handle this kind of speed without bottlenecking?  Huh

A real computer.  First, you will need gig-e and the bandwidth to push it.  Then you need a system to keep up.  the standard PCI bus will not do 500mbps (250 in and 250 out) without a struggle, so you need some umph behind it.  Having Intel branded cards will offload some of this.
