Dennis, we never expected that you give an usefull answer, .... Ah, this time it is "just" FreeBSD, no need of reading some RFC rules necessary, hmm ? "just a pice of hardware"? YES, because the manual diskette was a cleanly formated new one you sent to the card. The card is cheap, but the none-support makes it more expensive than the Cisco router. I Cisco router is up in 5 minutes, your card we could not manage to setup in one month. Hundreds of spelling errors and none usefull help from you made the card "golden". The ETINC cards have been the EXPENSIVEST pice of hardware I have on my station. BTW, the screw and spring is still missing from the paid card. Can you not find an replacement or is it just your atitude against serving paying customer? To all other people of the list: Please don't answer to this message, just read it, think twice if you should buy such cards, if you have a spare T1 line for a month testing, ..... -- Ronald Wiplinger Gen.
