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.
