Blake Would it be easier/more effective/less hassle to use an ISDN Brouter plugged into your LAN? I know the basics of what ISDN is, the channel characteristics and such, but am not really up on exactly how it is used in the BSD world. If I were connecting to a local ISP via ISDN, could I typically just buy a Brouter that understands TCP/IP over ISDN and plug it into my LAN? -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffet
