I've got a 486/66 box that was previously running 3 lines at 115K full-blast w/out a hiccup. It's down to two b/c we upgraded our link to a 56K frame relay line. > The router platform is Pentium 100-133Mhz. It may > coexist with T1 frame links.

Make sure you get 'real' 16550s, and not some of the clone versions that don't work well. I got some ISA cards at Fry's that were a bit spendy for serial cards, but they have worked very well in my server box. [ I know nothing about ISDN since we don't have it in Montana. :( ] Nate
