We looking to create something like a T3-ethernet bridge with the T3 cards because the T3 will only be used between two offices. That way would could have the other office on the same LAN. There will be no IP filtering on the T3 so we could also split the T3 off to a different machine if performance is an issue. -Hans | || ||| || r a z o r f i s h , inc. hans-christoph steiner [ network systems manager ] >> tel +1.212.798.6432 >> pager +1.888.433.4970 >> http://www.razorfish.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
