Dear ALL,

We purchased an Etinc 5025PQ PCI quad syncronous E1/T1/Fractional card and
are havind a few problems putting it to work with more than 64Kbps.
We have a 256Kbps fractional E1 link provided by the TELCO via an HDSL
Termination Unit and a G.703 to V.35 E1 converter. 

We would like to make a FreeBSD router, connecting our various networks
and holding our connection to internet.

The whole setup works fine with a cisco on the other side and IBM, Cisco
and Cyclades routers here at our ISP (Same CSU/DSU cable, connecting the
V.35 cable with the V.35 DTE cable from the router ). Etinc keeps saying
it is a clable problem, CSU/DSU problem, but how does it work with any
router?

I configured etinc port to PPP, HDLC, internal, external clock, changed
ifconfig parameters according to the manual and i am not being able to put
the link up and IP packets going from one side to the other at 256Kbps.

I purchased etinc because of good recomendations here on the list but as i
could see, the support from etinc is not as good as it should be.  Did
anybody already experienced any similar situation? Do i need to change
etinc's cable?  Does anybody know of any other card that can work in this
situation?

I have heard of many other choices of Sync cards and maybe next time i
will use another card, that can give me support to work with more than
64Kbps. I used to recomend etinc to my friends because of its support to
FreeBSD, a Robust system with full support from the developers, etc but
now i am quite disappointed with etinc's support.

Luiz
