Don't know if it works with FreeBSD, it does work with BSDi. Hmmm, no idea about that one since haven't heard of that brand before... I heard Ascend, Adtran, and Cisco is the way to go. I think the card you are looking at doesn't really need a operating system but acts like a serial com port so you can configure it either from the communications program in your OS or do it from a laptop via a cable. The card probably just uses the power from the PC slot to work and nothing else. Atleast that's how the Cisco AccessPC Card works... Is this a 56k or a T1 card?
