Ah yes, and i want to buy it in Germany ;-) (Perhaps better sent to -hardware) If you don't need modem control the BocaBoard BB1008 works fine (well, actually it works fine on 2.05 but I suppose it works on 2.1) except for some occasional probing problems on warm reboot. If you do need modem control you have to use the BB2016 16 port version. I don't know about buying it in Germany, but Boca was able to immediately give me a list of US vendors so you could call them and ask (407 997 7202). -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
