Router with integrated CSU/DSU. However, talks FR/PPP via 56K only. I use option A above with Emerging Technologies ETPCUX.25 sync card for $695, plus a FT1 CSU/DSU for $695. Which makes me ready for 56K through 1.5mbits. Then I get a FT1 FR connection from the phone company and I can buy 56K, 256K, 384K, or 1.5mbits ($125, $375, $575, $675, per month respectively). The install cost of an FT1 is the same as a 56K circuit where I come from. Brian Litzinger brian@easynet.com
