I cant speak of the Wanic card, but I have 2 Etinc cards in production at two different sites (one since October, the other since March). No packet loss, no downtime, no worries, no problems with either. We are very happy with both at full T1 speeds connected to Adtran CSU/DSUs talking to Ciscos on the other end... One in PPP, one in HDLC. Of course, having written this, the cards will now meltdown and be no end of trouble. ;-) ---Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tancsa, tel 01.519.651.3400 Network Administrator, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
