That is correct. > 1) I've seen a few references to a commercially availible driver for the > sportster 128k for isdn4linux. Is isdn4linux more or less the same as isdn4bsd? No. isdn4linux and isdn4bsd are as different as the 2 OS'es they run on. > If yes- has anyone heard about the commercial driver, might it work for fBSD? No, i haven't heard and no, i really doubt such a driver will work under FreeBSD. > 2) If I'm SOL on the TA I've already got, what TA would you recommend for a fBSD > environment.

Or-- does it make much difference at > all? Isdn4bsd supports just and only DSS1. In the meantime i have got the specs for NI-1 but i doubt there will be support for this in the near future. I have no recommendation for a TA because i've never used one. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 559747-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 559747-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de 22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
