I *was* looking at the USR/3COM ISDN Couriers or IPool > TA's originally. If this is the case, I would strongly recommend going with PRI service, terminated into an Ascend Max 6k (or similar). If you need BRI, take a look at the Max 1800. We use both, and have 0 ISDN problems. As an example, I had my LAN at home routed through a Pipeline 50 connected to the 1800 at work. This worked great, but was overkill when I went down to 1 box at home. While a consumer grade ISDN TA or router will work, it doesn't leave much room for growth. -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
