If so, where might I find them? You can get such things working with FreeBSD fairly easily, especially since we updated the sio man page. Also, are there any drivers for high-speed sync cards, capable of 56Kbps or better yet T1 (1.544Mbps)? Well, I can run 115.2KBps with an absolute bog standard 16540 serial board between my laptop and "main" machines running FreeBSD 1.1, so I don't know if a high speed syncs card is always going to be necessary if all you need is the _speed_. If you also need to talk sync-sync, however, then no - I don't believe any of the fancier cards are currently supported. Jordan
