I'd like to know what the Ascend product is missing in functionality for you.

I'm not even sure if there is a card for PC technology that allows you to plug in a PRI. > I then want software that allows me to run PPP over each of the > B channels to whomever might dialin and has the appropriate > authorization to connect.
