From: Poul-Henning Kamp Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 21:29:03 +0100 Message-ID: <6200.913667343@critter.freebsd.dk> Sender: phk@critter.freebsd.dk Bcc: Blind Distribution List: ; I am working on a driver for a E1/Nx64 interface card for FreeBSD. The card is PCI bus-mastering, can do 31 HDLC channels, and has a balanced E1 interface (G.703 120 Ohm). A T1 version is possible if there is sufficient interest (send me email!). The driver exists and performs well, but the framework in the FreeBSD kernel needs much more work before support for this kind of stuff can be called "serious". To further this cause, I am offering the card and driver (binary) for USD1100 (or DKR7000) to any interested and qualified testers. The majority of the profit from this sale will go into improving the FreeBSD kernels support for serial line routing use, a minor part of the profit will go into making sure my family don't starve in the meantime. The card is currently NOT approved for connection to any networks anywhere, so use it only where you are allowed to (by applicable rules and/or morals). If there is sufficient interest, I will also be interested in finding a company who can produce and possibly market these cards for me. I don't really want to be in the hardware business if I can avoid it. Send me email if you are interested in any of this.
