Isn't that defeating the purpose? What I would want, would be remove the cisco or if it were necessary for another connection use ethernet between it and my FreeBSD ROUTER. Maybe I'm on another channel, and if I am please desregard the question. ed P.D. I think the problem is cable incompatability.
