DigiBoard has some basic rate cards, but it looks like they only support Win31/95/NT. They're also working on a Primary rate cards. I've got to evaluate a BRI card for about a month connecting a PC at home to an WinNT RAS box in the office. The 128k connections were nice even under Windoze. They have a couple of developers at DigiBoard that hacking BSD/OS code for the async stuff. I don't know if we will see ISDN stuff for BSD*, I guess there's not enough demand. Regards, Mike Hancock
