I'm investigating ISDN and am trying to determine the correct
TA or router to buy for a PC running BSD Unix.  Do the TA's require
special drivers for the serial port which are win32 apps, or are
there drivers for some TAs that run on BSD?  (I couldn't find any 
mention of this in the BSD handbook.)  I'm guessing that the easier
option is to get an ISDN router and an ethernet card, but this is
a significantly more expensive option.

Anyone out there with experience here?  I would guess that there
are a few of you BSD folks running network services on ISDN.

Thanks very much,
