I know that the usr I-courier supports upto 230kb/s DTE speeds (and my Computone Intelliserver supports upto 200kb/s...) The other option would be to look at using a synchronous port of some sort... By the By, someone mentioned that the I-courier has two serial ports on it. So far, I've not found any information that says this. What I have found is related to the number of analog POTS ports on the box. John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John T.
