Cost $269 at several places. Has U Interface, >2 POTS, AUI and TP. Ulf, Read the question again. He's looking for a box that will physically connect to an ISDN BRI line _and_ accept ISDN or analog calls (upto v.90) as a host. As a "modem box" the nearest equiv. is the 3com/USR MP-8/i box. Handles 4 BRIs, accepts ISDN or analog calls & presents them on 8 async serial ports. The nearest "ethernet" box that I know of would be the Ascend Max1800 with a digital modem card in it. Does anybody have experience with using MVIP bus or similar Computer-Telephony cards under FreeBSD? I've often thought that a nice low-density RAS system could be built around FreeBSD and some of these cards. It would require one or more cards to interface to BRI or PRI circuits, a pot of DSP-based digital modems, and some processing power to switch incoming call to either the modems (analog calls) or ISDN calls to another sub-system (Ascend calls them HDLC processors).
