You should really invest in an ISDN card (and use the examples in /usr/share/examples/ppp/*isdn*). It doesn't really matter which version of ppp you use with your TA - all ppp gets to see is a non-multi-link connection. The TA mangles the incoming and outgoing LCP requests so that it negotiates multi-link with the peer while the local machine isn't looking. Of course you've got to figure out the magic AT commands you need to make it do this. > Hello, > > I have an external AETHRA TPQ 2033 ISDN network termination connected to a > FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE machine. > > It's working fine with userland ppp with AUTO and NAT options.
