Hi... I'm just about to look into getting an ISDN line into my system, mainly to reduce some lag between myself and a couple of local sites I talk to... I figure I have two choices, one is an ISDN modem, one is an ISDN card. From what I've seen, as far as ISDN modems are concerned, there is the Motorola TA220, that supports two RS-232 jacks, which will give me two ports, one B channel to each site, and the ability to do a 128k interface to each port. What about ISDN cards? My understanding is that the TA220 runs about $700CDN...I've been aatching talk about the BISDN support in FreeBSD...how stable is it? Connection uptime, kernel stability, etc? I presume that since the card is straight on the machine bus, that throughput would be better? I've always shied away from internal modems, mainly because an external one you can turn off and on if it hangs...an internal one you have to reboot the machne...what about ISDN cards vs modems? Thanks... Marc G. Fournier scrappy@ki.net Systems Administrator @ ki.net scrappy@freebsd.org
