If you need more than 8, sometimes its cheaper to go with a surplus PM25. (See www.portmasters.com). We use quite a few lava cards, but only the 4 port variety. Other option that might work for you are USB cards. I have used ones based on the uftdi driver and they seem to work well in RELENG_5 and above. =20 Take a look at the PUC driver source code to see what is supported first. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 mike@sentex.net, (http://www.tancsa.com)
