In fact, if you're located outside of Europe chances are that you can't use i4b at all, since many countries (especially the USA) didn't adhere to the ITU standards when implementing ISDN. I've used both external TAs and i4b. The thing I like about i4b is that it doesn't tie up a serial port and there are no silo overflow error messages ;-). --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.dec.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
