Hi Louie,

>You've got to look at what you're actually getting as a delivered capability.

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.

Thanks,
Len
