• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    The box itself runs Linux as it's OS (Ubuntu at the moment) and I can simply SSH into it from wherever I happen to be. Once on there you can open a .net file like you would on any other Dynamips/Dynagen/GNS3 system and the world is your Oyster :)

    Just finished sorting out my Cisco rack.... Old rack: New rack: I've gotten rid of the real routers and replaced them with a quad-core 8GB dynamips box with 3 quad NIC's to bridge to real switches. I still need to swap the 2950's out for something newer (probably 3560's) and get another...
