I use the Omni.net TA with FreeBSD, and it works just great. What the TA does is speaking ppp with the other end and translates async to sync ppp and vice versa. It also handles bandwith on demand etc etc. I use iijppp exactly as I used it with a modem, no problems. About the serial cards, I took a serial card wich had maxium speed of 115k2 and exchanged the crystal to one with double the frequency. Works with no problems. I tell iijppp to set the port speed to 115k2, and the card is actually running at 230k4. I think most of the "high speed" serial cards on the market today works in the same manner. You can clock-double or -quadruple it. What ever speed you set your terminal to is actually double or quad. /Jakob Alvermark ------------------------------------------------------- Teligent AB, P.O.
