With a normal async serial card (and perhaps sync->async PPP turned on in the BSPro) you'll only be able to use 115.2Kbps of the 128KBps available from ISDN. The channel aggregation is not a function of PPP but is implemented in the ISDN equipment at each end- there's still many competing ways of doing it so you may wish to check compatibility with wherever you'll be calling into. To FreeBSD it'll just look like a fast serial port, and sets up like any other PPP connection. -- David Richards Ripco Communications Inc.
