These take a PRI which allows you to serve 56K. If you only have need of a few ports, buy something like a Perle 8331S Access server http://www.perle.com/products/prod_family/access_servers/833_is.html or a CommPlete 4000 server http://www.multitech.com/PRODUCTS/Families/CommPlete4000/ which you can sometimes find used ones like here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1484&item=5740567438&; rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V These devices take ISDN BRIs and allow V.90 dialin to them. And since they have no moving parts they are much more robust than any PC solution. Ted
