The project is a kind of prototyping where an existing (slow and erroneous) solution on an NT box should be replaced by whatever thing is better. I would like to use FreeBSD for that purpose and am now thinking, if I should use some active card (that supports the requested protocolls by itself - even under FreeBSD) or a passive card in which case - as far as I found out - some work is necessary to make i4b supporting the protocols I need. In the latter case I somewhat have the feeling that there would be some people who would be happy to hear if i4b would be enhanced that way, but, to be honest, I have not the faintest idea about the dimensions of work involved, or if there would be difficulties to get documentation without which there is no chance to do such enhancements or the like. I would be glad to receive any suggestions concerning the passive/active choice as well as the possibility of an enhancement of i4b (which I of course would be willing to try to do if it is regarded worth it).
