Everything else runs via the V.35 and TP ethernet port. Ah, it wasn't clear whether it was configuration only, or if it looked like a network interface, making it a three port router. The Web pages implied that the custom configuration software could be bypassed completely in favor of SNMP; which would indicate that the card should work reasonably well in a FreeBSD-only box. But I'd really like to find someone who can confirm that from experience. |> Look also at http://www.sourcecom.com/ That's where I found what info I have. Thanks, -Pat
