I recently setup FreeBSD 4.3 to function as a router for a T1 for our company. I used the Emerging Technologies card and had to use an external CSU/DSU. The card was about $650 with the cable, you can find CSU/DSU's in the $500 range. There are options that allow for multiple T1's to be used, but those cards cost a little more. Their website is http://www.etinc.com. Their documentation had several typos in it, feel free to contact me for proper configuration information. I wasn't too pleased with their documentation. They could easily elminate 90% of the fluff in it and just provide a quick-and-easy 1-2-3 setup. Overall though, I am very pleased with their product. -Eric > i currently use bsd box for a rounter over an isdn connection. i am > looking into expand services and getting a t1 (or multiple t1's). the > information i have about using bsd for a t1 router shows a RISCom/n2 card > with built in csu/dsu. however i think this may be out-of-date > information. > > what device(s) are currently in vogue to use a unix box as a router? > > thanks in advance.
