The only way I know how to get one > is to buy a computer from Dell with it pre-installed. for the money, the Cisco 675 is a great deal, but I have no doubt the need for the Cisco 605 driver will be more vocal in the future (esp, if Cisco starts pushing these devices in new computers instead of modems -- I guess that won't happen until ASDL is common). Even in sticks (Fargo), last summer, an ISP wanted a FreeBSD driver for the Cisco 605 but couldn't get the specs. According to the ASDL web page on how these devices can be configured, for a telco, I could see the Cisco 605 offering a variety of services beyond IP connection since they have the ATM infrastructure. I will put my name down as someone that would help with the driver, assuming document and equipment can be secured. Unfortunately, I would not be able to use the product for personal use because ASDL service is limited here, as it is in many (most?) places. --mark.
