(that I know = of). Thanks. For now I'm going with a standalone router. This is a single = link for a communicating with a legacy application at a government body, = so I'm not looking to invest significant amounts of time. I was curious about about what was involved in hooking ng_frame_relay up = to one of the E1 based telephone cards to do frame relay. Perhaps if I = get one of the cards for another purpose I'll have a look. Regards, Jan.=
