Subject:   What kind of serial card should I use with ISDN and FreeBSD

I just got an ISDN line and I'm using a 486/33 with FreeBSD on it to route
our internal network to the outside world. Anyway, my 486 has a 16450 UART
serial card. My understanding is that there are many limitations to this
kind of card and  I am wondering what my options are in terms of upgrades
that work with FreeBSD. 

The ISDN adapter I'm using is a 3Com ImpactIQ and it says that with
compression it can get speeds up to 230kbps. I'm getting about 85kbps with
it now.

The 3Com ImpactIQ came with advetisements for serial cards with 16750 UARTS
on them. Do these work with FreeBSD? Does anyone have any opinions on them?
