Currently supported are the AVM Fritz!Card on FreeBSD, OpenBSD (untested) and NetBSD, and the ELSA MicroLink MC and MC/all on NetBSD and probably OpenBSD, and the ELSA MicroLink MC on FreeBSD. </quote> This is from an old distribution of I4B. According to the code the AVM Fritz!Card PCMCIA is still supported, but who knows whether you can still buy one today. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj@jennejohn.org gj@freebsd.org gj@denx.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
