	I am hoping to use a PC with FreeBSD 2.2 as an internet
gw/router of sorts and for dialin's.

	what i am lacking is hardware compatibility knowledge.
can anyone tell me what RS-232 serial cards are available?  i am
told that cyclades makes and eight port high-speed serial card.
is that true?  does the FreeBSD Cyclades serial driver work with
that card?  i am hoping to supply at least 2 dialins w/ ppp to
start and perhaps more later.

	i will also need a high-speed V.35 interface (to CSU/DSU).
any suggestions here?  i'm guessing that cyclades makes one but i
have not been able to find a cyclades vendor yet.

	any help/advice appreciated.

thanks
