I recommend the Zyxel Omni TA128 for pure ISDN or the Zyxel Elite 2864I if you also need analog modem support. It behaves as a standard analog modem (configured with AT commands) and connects to the serial port (up to 460K). The Omni even has two serial ports so two computers can connected to the outside world at the same time. Another options is the Motorola Bitsurfer Pro (which I could not test myself because AFAIK it only works on american ISDN lines, same for USR I-modem). -- Blaz Zupan, blaz.zupan@medinet.si, http://www.medinet.si/~blaz Medinet d.o.o., Linhartova 21, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia
