That's often the case in Europe (or at least in France, No kidding! Telecom Eireann is kinda new at this and I think it'll be awhile before, well, anyway.. >Anyway, you'll probably need a router, as these modems are SYNC, and I'm >not quite sure there's appropriate support in FreeBSD for that (I guess >you'd need a special sync serial card for that, too). Actually, there is and one of our members (David Greenman - davidg@freebsd.org) is using his FreeBSD machine to run Frame Relay directly at 56K. The sync serial card is produced by Emerging Technologies (I think I have that name right - it's from memory) and will do everything from 56K to T1 (1.54Mb) speeds.. I don't have a contact but David could probably supply more details if you asked him nicely.. :) Jordan
