Look into the "Ascend Pipeline" (I think) brand. Let me guess - you're filthy rich, yes? There is reportedly a Motorola card for PClones that is still not cheap, but an order of magnitude less expensive than a Pipeline - it just needs a device driver 8^) Also NetBSD doesn't have that silly little static route table that is too small for everything except for sites that can't afford to buy one I am told that some modems such as Zyxel have serial port i/o that effectively makes an ISDN AT-command type device, but I don't know the gotcha's as I haven't tried it. ...and for the geek that has everything, get an SGI box with the ISDN on the motherboard, and own a router with incredible graphics ;^) -- Bruce Becker News Administration Toronto, Ont.
