For being "not quite there yet" the driver is running pretty flawlessy on my machine. Granted, it is version 0.97 and due to some esoteric copyright issues some parts have to be rewritten from scratch before it can be incorporated into the FreeBSD kernel mainstream, but that doesn't limit its functionality at all :-) > If you really want a cheap internal TA you'll have to run Linux for > the moment. Not if the cheap card is similar enough to the teles hardware. Write to isdn-request@muc.ditec.de to participate on the bisdn mailinglist. Greetings, Ripley -- H.
