Or am I missing something here? Well, I've had no trouble getting ADTRAN TAs to work (a far superior product to the BitSurfr, which is why I never gave the Motos a second look) with FreeBSD. There's also the fact that your TA actually drops the connection, and this does _not_ point at FreeBSD. The TA should keep the connection up regardless of what kind of data you're sending down it, and if it chokes up and drops your connection then this really does point the finger squarely in its direction. I'd try this with another pair of TAs from another manufacturer if you're serious about testing it. Jordan
