In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am looking into a digital line that with compression can receive 512kbps. It is a dedicated connection so I would need a good terminal adaptor. I have 2 or 3 questions to ask. 1. 128kbps, using both B channels, with 4:1 compression would give 512kbps. How would I go about actually using both B channels? I was told that this was a very hard procedure to do, unless you had an ISDN Router (plus terminal adaptor combined). Is this true? If so, how hard. What do you actually have to do? Do you use a program like "ppp" to start the actual connection? What? If you know a good place I can find ISDN answers for FreeBSD, please point me towards the URL. 2. Is anybody currently using an ISDN Terminal Adaptor and would recommend there adaptor to me? Like I mentioned above, if it is very hard to use both B channels, does anyone have an ISDN Router (and terminal adaptor combined) they would recommend for ease, stability, and speed? -- Brandon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
