It works reasonably well but I'm treating it as an experiment in trying to get cost/port down on NAS. But alas, it's about to be recomissioned for other server-based duties on FreeBSD as we are on the verge of converting everything to USR Total Control. For the record, this machine has had very few problems and has never crashed in the last year it's been in service. The main drawback with portslave, however, is until we have a well supported CT1 or PRI DSP/modem ISA/PCI card, forget 56K modems on this platform. Thats the mail reason for getting rid of it. BTW, Miquel is wonderful and provided excellent help the very few times I needed it getting started. ========================================================================= Jeffrey A.
