Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there. Recentrly i talked with a friend (he also reads this list) about what is needed to offer 56k access... he says that only the 56k modems nothing else... but for what i know you need something with a digital interface to a E1 that talks to your modem modules... (like an ascend term server or something like that). What is the truth??? :) I guess that a lot of isp's don't want to waste their investment on multiport cards or cisco routers.... any lights on this??? Thanx!! Felipe Rivera M. felipe@informador.com.mx
