I wonder if anyone has tried the Combinet Everywhere 1000 series
PC Adaptors with FreeBSD?  According to San Mai, "Product Manager"
at Combinet: "Combinet's family of PC1000 ISDN BRI cards look like
NE2000 adapter cards".

If so, there is at least the chance that the generic NE2000 ethernet
drivers in FreeBSD will work with these cards.  Info on the cards
can be found at: http://www.combinet.com/prodfam.html.  Street pricing
appears to be $375-$600/card, depending on which card & which features
are purchases.  (For example pricing see 
   http://www.earthlink.net/~isdnwarehouse/LANs.html,
or for even better prices try searching for "ISDN" at:
   http://www.sparco.com/products/master_search.html).

Thanks for any info.
