All,
I've been working on a firewall/router/gateway, and found the cheaper
solution was the Sangoma WANPIPE(508) card. Since the network the machine
will be going onto is split 18 channels voice, and 2 data, the rest unused
now, we still needed a separate CSU/DSU.. The Wanpipe cost $550, and Allows
the V.35 from the CSU/DSU to connect into the PC. (Acts like a nic)..
They have drivers on there site too (took slight modification but
work..)
For $880, it comes equipted with a built in CSU/DSU (useful in Data Only
Situations).
You might want to look 'em up.. http://www.sangoma.com/
Thank you for FreeBSD =)
