We used one of the ISA N2's for a while, but this was problematic and we moved to the SDL WANic (it's just a PCI N2), which hasn't taken 5 minutes of my time since I plugged it in. (Including the time to recompile the kernel =)). Our WANic is driving an E1 (2Mbit/s line) which offers you an easy upgrade route.. It's also dual ported like the N2D The etinc boards are probably just as good as well, but I don't know as much about them. > > > Thanks for your help > > -- > Didier Derny > didier@omnix-net.com > > > Steve Roome Technical Systems Manager, Vision Interactive Ltd.
