I don't know if we will see ISDN stuff for BSD*, I guess > there's not enough demand. Especially not when a pair of TAs work as well as they do. Sure, you're shaving off the top end at 115.2K, and you're paying the 2-bit price of start and stop bits, but for many people (and I include myself), it's more than good enough! My own ISDN connnection is nothing more than a pair of FreeBSD boxes and ADTRAN L1 Express Terminal Adaptors. Sure I'd like to go 128K/sync, but I'm still getting 10.7kB/sec consistently in ftp transfers of compressed data and that's a whole lot more than my 28.8 line used to do, so I'm pretty satisfied with things just as they are! :-) Jordan
