You'll lose tons of customers on mistakes > like this. We bought a used 4048 - that had obsolete modems in it - for just one purpose. It was used for incoming ISDN and worked quite well for that at great savings. And all ISP's aren't the same. I have a PM - bought it cheap - only for the the ISDN lines coming into that [not the same as the above place]. It will also only be be used for emergency access ot the system. Customers will be ADSL/ISDN/T1 [or faster] only. So it depends on your needs - used is good in the proper place - but not all places are proper :-) Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
