you can deploy routeros on any x86 hardware even a VM. I'm using an old
Watchguard X series (since 1200 mhz celeron)> I've also had routeros
working on the E series as well (also 1200mhz celeron). and folks were
able to use the XTM5 series too. these are available on ebay.

Hi Rob (and Others)
Yes I saw what Marius Posted and it is excellent solution ..... BUT.... it was done on
Professional Router
Unfortunately i cant hold my hand on Microtik here I have to order it from abroad
so The router i must pay for it and the delivery is expensive
But all the Firm here have Cisco and it is more easy for me to get Cisco
But I think I can get microtik home router (the cheeps one that cost 30 dollar or so)
in the Computer shops that are the router i meant for while asking if a home router can
work ...
As for PC we will need PC for other tasks (one will be Network monitoring (with
whatsup-gold or other kind like programs) so PC is not a problem but i prefer it will
not be for the routing task
In fact i got a donation of a server (probably more powerfull then the Proliant you
mentioned you have) so i hope it will be the one and maybe this server will take care of
all what we need (include making the Update to the routers if we still use routers)

Look what Marius posted yesterday. He has made a script for MikroTik routers that
updates the configuration using the AMPR RIP transmissions!
This is a very nice solution because it will receive all current routes automatically
without requiring an external computer.
MikroTik routers are very versatile. They can run user-written programs (scripts) to do
things like this.
I have a MikroTik RB2011UiAS-2HnD here, which would classify as a home router. It has
128MB RAM and 128MB flash
which is more than enough for this purpose. I paid 125 euro for this nice box.
