Cc: stefan@promo.de Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk For a private project, I'd like to use an old Eicon ISA card a friend will be donating to me to interface to a Cisco router. The Cisco has a sync X.21 or V.35 interface, to which my solution must connect to transport IP. Obviously, I'd like to use FreeBSD, but I'd accept any low-price (not not say: cheap) solution to route IP to an Ethernet or async PPP connection. Alternativly, another cheap sync card (<$200) would be OK. Or, a cheap sync-async adapter might work also. Any ideas? [ No, attaching any other way to the Cisco is impossible due to political reasons. ] Thanks, Stefan -- Stefan Bethke Hamburg, Germany
