Running BONDed B channels with compression can run up to 480000 through the parallel port with less drain on system resources than serial. I'm wondering what it would take to use the parallel port this way with FreeBSD or Linux. I'd also like to know if there is serial hardware and support to handle those speeds, or if there is a device which can be programmed to offload some processing from the CPU. -ecsd I'm a dealer for the ZyXel & other products.
