The Cyclades is ASYNCHRONOUS, not SYNCHRONOUS.

Sadly, it is true that Cyclades supports Linux but not FreeBSD, but I 
found there was plenty of support from FreeBSD-isp, FreeBSD-hackers.

Well, you can also try the Stallion boards, but before you ditch Cyclades 
note well that the Linux drivers for Cyclades are add-ons supplied by 
Cyclades; the FreeBSD driver is ***integrated into the FreeBSD kernel***.
This is why you need to ask FreeBSD people about the driver, not 
Cyclades Inc.

I have found the Cyclades cards to work well, without much fuss, except 
for some CLOCAL problems.  What problems did you experience?
