If you are looking for a really cost-effective solution, perhaps a VSCom 800 card would be better. They emulate ARNET and BOCA cards, and I just paid about US$110 for an 8 port version. An 8 port cyclom will cost much more than that. (US$400???). The VSCom card comes from Germany. I'll dig out the e-mail address of the company tomorrow. regards, Danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
