I came across discussion about Zyxel is releasing a new V.34 modem that can handle ISDN as well (as an add-on module?). I was just wondering can we just plug such a `modem' in ISDN mode to FreeBSD for use or we need special driver for it ? The reason I asked is that my friends and I have acquired an affordable dial-up PPP service (still not using yet, waiting for things to get fixed up right now), and we are deciding on the best (or close to best) investment for equipment to buy. I guess 28.8K (which will become obselete soon we guess) isn't enough if we are to provide the box as an ftp side, and thinking of going ISDN. But I remembered some discussion about no ISDN card is supported yet at this momement and though the ISDN `modem' may be something you can plug and talk! Can someone clarify this ? Also, does anyone find 28.8K an acceptable link for SLIP/PPP to provide an ftp site ? Thanks in advance. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ M.C Wong Email: mcw@hpato.aus.hp.com Australian Telecom Operation Voice: +61 3 272 8058 Hewlett-Packard Australia Ltd Fax: +61 3 898 9257 31 Joseph St, Blackburn 3130, Australia OS: FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 http://hpautow.aus.hp.com:9999/~mcw/mcw.html (or http://hpautorf/~mcw)
