I actually will lookup the card and manufacturer for more detail for when we are in the buying mode again. B- You should have received the End Of Life mail forwarded from Alfred Shippen ( our supplier down under ) by now so you can see where the WanIC 405 stands.... As I am quite happy with Netgraph as it is supporting multiple frame relay links as well as our MPD based VPN for our road worriers ( sorry warriors ), I now expand my original question What are the potential netgraph supported replacement cards now and under consideration, for the WanIC 405 series...?? The new (read more expensive) card is the WanIC 520/521/.... series, but I am willing to look at alternates that provide the interface to the telco NTU for frame relay. (Just as an aside, given the unique nature of the card and the us - au exchange rate, we are already paying AU$2000 ish prices for card and interface cable package, so a cheaper alternate is always welcome ;-) Murray Taylor Bytecraft Systems Pty Ltd email: murraytaylor@bytecraftsystems.com web(s): www.bytecraftsystems.com www.bytecraftentertainment.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
