These are now cheap on e-bay. If you need VBR you should stick to an IDT77252 based card - the ProATM cards are very fine (www.prosum.fr) (see patm(4)). For UBR either card should do it. For ABR you can use either the ProATM or the HE155. harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt@fokus.fraunhofer.de, harti@freebsd.org
