But then again, the volume is a lot smaller. I can get a Teles clone here in Germany for about 140 DM, which is ~$75. And, with bisdn, the cards _are_ accessed using a dedicated driver. I can get (depending on the quality of the connection) the maximum throughput of ~8kB/sec (well, actually ~7.5kB/s with overhead). --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) garyj@muc.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
