NOTE: I added current to the Cc for wider distribution in the hope that someone will positively respond to my question below. I added the isdn mail-list because it may be of general interest to the people on that list. grog@lemis.de writes: > garyj@frt.dec.com writes: > > > > brian@mediacity.com writes: > >> I'm currently using external BitSurfer Pros, but would like to > >> recover the bandwidth that is lost to the serial port 115200 bps limit > >> and the ASYNC/SYNC conversion. > > > > even with a card you can't do that because the current ISDN code does > > not support channel aggregation.

I'm going to be in California from Nov 7 til Nov 28 and would be more than willing to bring a pair of (ISA) cards from Germany and try to get the bisdn code working in the US. I already asked Jordan, but he can't accomodate me. Is there anyone in the Bay Area who has ISDN and a pair of boxes who'd be willing to make them available for this ? --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
