This device provides a number of physical interfaces (eg RS232, V25) to a Frame Relay, X25, or PPP network using "variants" of HDLC as the link level protocol (LAPD, LAPB, etc). It seems a wonderful product and I am very pleased with Mr Dennis Bauschs responsive and informed help. Unfortunately I am having trouble getting the ET card to work. My symptoms are *no* frames sent to the CSU/DSU (so the ET software quite correctly reports the link is down since the LMI status enquiry frames it generates do not get replies from the Frame relay network) although the cards debug mechanism reports that frames are being generated (the hex contents are displayed on the console). I am using FreeBSD 2.2.5-R on a 486 Micronics main board. The ET ISA card uses IRQ 5 and IO address 0x240. vmstat -i shows that this board and an NE2000 compatible have different IRQs and are generating interupts. I have unsuccessfully tried changing the clock sense of the CSU/DSU and interchanging the 2 cards (ether and ET). Thank you, Yours sincerely.
