Allegedly it is capable of Multilink PPP. Me being very new to ISDN, I cannot conceive of how this works. Is the Adtran itself performing the PPP protocol functions, or is it the (Windows/Mac) software that came bundled with it? My guess is that the Adtran has the protocol built into its firmware. But, if this is so, what is the format of the data that is coming from/to the Adtran via the serial port? I'm currently using the Adtran as a "modem" with FreeBSD's userland PPP. But, it seems like once Multilink PPP was involved the Adtran would be performing the PPP duties instead of the software. It seems that I am unable to use the Adtran for PPP with two combined B channels with the current software. Am I understanding the situation correctly? I would prefer to stick with FreeBSD when using the Adtran. I hope I'm asking a understandable questions. Any information you folks can give me would be greatly appreciated! -- PETER SCHWENK | UNIX System Administrator Department of Mathematical Sciences | University of Delaware schwenk@math.udel.edu | (302)831-0437 <-NEW!!!
