As far as I know, the isdn driver for BSD is not 128K capable yet, so if you absolutely need 128Kb/s you would have to go with an external TA. There is some documentation in /usr/src/i4b about the cards. I don't have any experience with the external TA's so I cannot help you there. > 2) Use an external TA.
