Since the network the machine will be going onto is split 18 channels voice, and 2 data, the rest unused now, we still needed a separate CSU/DSU.. The Wanpipe cost $550, and Allows the V.35 from the CSU/DSU to connect into the PC. (Acts like a nic).. They have drivers on there site too (took slight modification but work..) For $880, it comes equipted with a built in CSU/DSU (useful in Data Only Situations). You might want to look 'em up.. http://www.sangoma.com/ Thank you for FreeBSD =) Eric A.
