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.
