I tried that several years ago and it blew up, I had to switch to FreeBSD.
At one point I had only PC routers in my network doing full BPG4. I even
had one at MAE-East that was peering with 12 providers at the time
including UUNet and MCI. I started to upgrade to DS3 and connect to
the rest of the NAPs, so I had to ditch them and go with the GRF. At that
time it had a Compaq desktop sitting next to it connected to the switch
with ethernet all I had to do was copy my gated configs. :-)
