It only needs to handle up to about 34kbit or so... must be PCI must have driver, or be able to be driven by existing drivers HDLC mode, must generate the clocks Currently we have been quoted the WANic 608-SE, which is a very nice card, does not have FreeBSD drivers and is quoted > A$6k !! As I need 4, maybe 6, plus spares, this is way too expensive. !!! Or is this price appropriate and we need to rethink our requirements? (they are needed to test and heat soak some ancient HDLC devices that we need to keep alive.) -- Murray Taylor Special Projects Engineer --------------------------------- Bytecraft Systems & Entertainment Phone: 61 3 8710 2555 Fax: 61 3 8710 2599 Direct: 61 3 9238 4275 Mobile: 61 0417 319 256 Email: murraytaylor@bytecraftsystems.com or visit us on the web http://www.bytecraftsystems.com http://www.bytecraftentertainment.com ************************************************************************ This Email has been scanned for Viruses by MailMarshal. ************************************************************************
