I will have a leased line of 19,2 kbps (for begin) from a local telco. The protocol used is Cisco Hdlc and the interface is rs232, this is the diagram: The big Internet <<>> (TELCO/ISP) Cisco 4xxx <-> Cisco rs232 cable<-> DTU (DSU/CSU) <-> ***** Leased Line ***** <-> (My office) DTU (DSU/CSU) <-> wan's rs232 cable <-> Wan card - My server. My problems is that i dont know what type of wan card buy, these are the options i got: Sangoma S508: 16bits isa, 2 ports, rs232, hdlc? www.sangoma.com/s508 Etinc ET5025-16: 16bits isa, 1 port, rs232, hdlc www.etinc.com/boards.htm#ET5025_16 Cyclades PC300/RSV: 32bits pci, 1 port, rs232, hdlc? http://www.cyclades.com/pc300.html That's all i got, please, if anyone have experiences (bad/good) with these products let me know. Any comment/advice about a better performing/optimization/etc is OFCOURSE! welcome. The server that will run routed is: Dual PII-400(intel l440gx) 128 simm ram 4.3 scsi-3 8.2 ide (logs/proxy cache) FreeBSD-3.4 Server's taks: httpd firewall proxy (accelerator) smtp pop3 cgi ftpd Will the routed reduce *many* of server performing? what are pros/crons of set a web/mail/ftp server as a router? thanks alot for your help!, few people use this card here and i have been searching in mailing list, but there many differents (and contraried) points of view, i'm lost about these cards but in many way$ i *should* use them... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
