Contact us directly for more information on some of this stuff. We have a few things working now and a few more on the way, though it's all in a very early-days state right now for T1 and FreeBSD. Those both interested and willing to suffer a little of the pain of testing where this is concerned should send mail to core@freebsd.org. I don't want to raise expectations by taking it more "public" than that just now, but I'd also like to starting talking seriously with those of you (mainly ISPs) who are interested in plugging high-speed sync serial into a PC. It's you folks who will REALLY drive FreeBSD's support in this area forward to the next stage - you have the incentive! :) If someone's interested in ARNET provided solutions, I'd especially like to talk to them.
