soekris 5501

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully used the Soekris net5501 with 
NetBSD.

My 4501/ipfilter firewall caps the traffic through my 20 meg Internet 
service at ~12Mb/s apparently due to the processor speed. So I believe I 
need to upgrade.

Specs are listed below. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks,

Louis
