Yes, That is what I am searching for. I looked at the SDL web site
and it appears that they only support BSDI & Linux on the UNIX side. Do
you know if they have FreeBSD support?
Also:
I talked with a company called Sangoma (www.sangoma.com) this
afternoon, they have a T1 product with integrated csu/dsu which is
relatively inexpensive (about $850 US). Currently the only driver
software for their cards is for NT, Linux and SCO.
HOWEVER: They are willing to do a port of their driver software to
FreeBSD, if people are interested and tell them so. I've already cast my
vote with them... if this is something you are interested in as well,
please let them know. I spoke with Gideon Hack this afternoon, his email
is ghack@sangoma.com.
If anyone knows anything I should know about these cards or sangoma,
please let me know. If not, I'm going to lean on the higher-ups here to
help me with getting Sangoma to do the driver port, since the project I am
currently working on may require us to purchase some quantity of them.
If this is something you are interested in, please drop Gideon a line.
Every email they get will push it a little higher on their priority list.
Thanks,
Jay K.
