Dear ALL, We purchased an Etinc 5025PQ PCI quad syncronous E1/T1/Fractional card and are havind a few problems putting it to work with more than 64Kbps. We have a 256Kbps fractional E1 link provided by the TELCO via an HDSL Termination Unit and a G.703 to V.35 E1 converter. We would like to make a FreeBSD router, connecting our various networks and holding our connection to internet. The whole setup works fine with a cisco on the other side and IBM, Cisco and Cyclades routers here at our ISP (Same CSU/DSU cable, connecting the V.35 cable with the V.35 DTE cable from the router ). Etinc keeps saying it is a clable problem, CSU/DSU problem, but how does it work with any router? I configured etinc port to PPP, HDLC, internal, external clock, changed ifconfig parameters according to the manual and i am not being able to put the link up and IP packets going from one side to the other at 256Kbps. I purchased etinc because of good recomendations here on the list but as i could see, the support from etinc is not as good as it should be. Did anybody already experienced any similar situation? Do i need to change etinc's cable? Does anybody know of any other card that can work in this situation? I have heard of many other choices of Sync cards and maybe next time i will use another card, that can give me support to work with more than 64Kbps. I used to recomend etinc to my friends because of its support to FreeBSD, a Robust system with full support from the developers, etc but now i am quite disappointed with etinc's support.
