I just installed Riscom/N2 on FreeBSD 2.2.2 few days ago. 
The WAN link is using cisco HDLC so i use the link2 options on ifconfig
command.

ifconfig sr0 inet 10.10.10.1 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 link2 up

I used the same Riscom card on BSDI/2.0 before and right now I'm using
FreeBSD 2.2.2. The WAN speed is T1.
On BSDI/2.0, the maximum bandwidth utilizasion was around 1280kbps
(according to MRTG) and on FreeBSD it was 1480kbps (also according to
MRTG).

I wonder, does the Riscom/N2 on FreeBSD perform better than on BSDI/2.0?
Does FreeBSD kernel include HDLC header on outgoing/incoming byte count
reports on this Interface because of the 'link2' option?

Thank you.
