Ah, but measure that against our list of features (www.etinc.com/ethssi.htm#features= ) and see how they compare (plus they dont even use a real HDLC controller). Things like hot-swap may make a difference given equal products, but they= are far from equal. As you've learned with ethernet controllers, the hardware=20 helps, but the real issue is the software/drivers.=20 Dennis=20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
