Is there a card or method supported by FreeBSD 2.1 that can handle this type of operation? I also plan on using the same box to attach multiple RS232 communications devices (3 remote site controller, 3 Best UPS, and 2 Motorola Unix Boxes). I am considering a Cyclades 16 port board (previous experience with board) for this job, but if there is a card with the RJ45 connectors on the card instead of an external box I would rather use that. Any advice would be appreciated. I hope to place an order for the required equipment within the next few days or early next week. Duane R.
