In pcs.freebsd.questions you write: >- Lastly, and I know this is plug time, any comments from users using >FreeBSD as a base for a firewall? There seem to be some, after all there's firewall code in the kernel :-) We're about to set up a quite similar construct here to connect our corporation to the internet. I've commited myself to use FreeBSD and can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I see several possibilities to connect to ISDN though: - Active ISDN card with special driver (there's support for some Dr. Neuhaus cards in the kernel, but they only support the German/European D channel protocols) - ISDN card that looks like a internal modem to the user - configure it like any old analog modem - External ISDN "terminal adapter", same thing. I don't know what interrupt load the modem-like-looking things put on your system, after all you'll have to set the serial line to 115200bps. Joe Greco recommends to use a low end machine (e.g. 386DX/40) as dedicated ISDN router. He is obviously using a Motorola UTA220 with good results.
