Could someone offer a little advice regarding support for ISDN under FreeBSD 3.x? I'm just about to build my first 'production' box using 3.2 and have had a BT ISDN2e line installed so that my 'Net access is as fast as possible from home. My original gameplan was to use an ISDN router on my network, but having tried a Netgear RH348 router, which turned-out to be duff, I decided that as (a) routers are generally expensive and (b) FreeBSD has the goodies built-in, as I understand things, then using the o/s is probably a better and a cheaper way to go (learning curve aside!). As I see things I have two options: 1) Use an internal PCI 128K-capable ISDN card. If so, what type? The FreeBSD website doesn't offer any advice (at least, that I could find) for supported cards for EURO-ISDN. 2) Use an external TA. There's plenty of choice here, but, as I see things, if I use a 128K connection, the standard 16550A uart on a serial port will not be man enough, so a 230K-capable serial port will be needed. The question here then is: what type etc., etc. Any help here would be greatly appreciated, It seems that if I want to use Windoze or Linux then I'm covered, but FreeBSD .....
