I didn't see the original message - probably because the date is screwed
up.  (it's a day later)

Anyway, I'm currently running a RISCom which is the same chipset as
the WANic and made by the same company.  Any DSU works fine as long as it's
recognized by the telco. I use a Kentrox bought for $200 off Ebay.  Purchase a
male V35 to WANic connector cable from SDL and the V35 card and your all set.
(V35 is the defacto standard in the US, I think X21 is the standard elsewhere
in the world)

Incidentally, there is one bug in the sr driver which I have a patch for that
Rodney Grimes gave me.  You will want that if your running a T1 at 1.54Mbt
it doesen't show up at slower speeds.  It's a buffer overrun that happens
because an interrupt is mishandled in the driver.
