Currently supported are the AVM Fritz!Card on FreeBSD, OpenBSD (untested) and NetBSD, and the ELSA MicroLink MC and MC/all on NetBSD and probably OpenBSD, and the ELSA MicroLink MC on FreeBSD. This is from an old distribution of I4B. According to the code the AVM Fritz!Card PCMCIA is still supported, but who knows whether you can still buy one today. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj@jennejohn.org gj@freebsd.org gj@denx.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
