What we are looking for is just 30 x 64 kbit incoming ISDN channels for remote access to Internet. "remote access concentrator". >channels. Some of them might be combined with others to provide Nx64kb/s I see the Portmaster 3 can bond channels even across PM3 chassis, but we would not need anything so fancy as that, as least in the first phase. Much more "sellable" to our clients (paying metered access for local time charges for ISDN in Europe) would be hardware STAC compression, ie, Lucent sells a card for the PM3 for hardware-assisted compression, for all 60 channels compressed in a 2 x E1 chassis. Is there a PCI stac-compression card supported by fbsd? If I can get Poul-Henning to give me a "little" (aka euphemism) help and if I can actually find the Siemens/Infineon PRI PCI card his driver works with, I'd like to give this project a go.
