Usually it's only the low end TA's (aka "digital modems") that use async. If you are talking about the standard Telstra issue 3com then it is async. Even so you need only worry about going beyond the standard UART if you intend on running MPPP or similar to utilise both B channels, otherwise 115kbps should be fine. Have you considered going for an internal card? Rgs, Kevin Sheehan kevin@planb.net.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
