You can hook up a TA (aka. ISDN modem) such as the ZyXel 1486DI (?) or one from Motorola. Since these hook to the serial port you can handle them just like an external modem. Jordan Hubbard is using a setup like this with great success. A TA is the most flexible solution since the German cards are designed for EuroISDN (the European ISDN standard) and there's no guarantee that they'll work correctly outside of Europe. --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
