Sadly, it is true that Cyclades supports Linux but not FreeBSD, but I found there was plenty of support from FreeBSD-isp, FreeBSD-hackers. > We plan to buy some others boards, If you have some experience with your > driver/supplyer/PPP 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? Danny
