This is what's really missing at the moment. to take a right turn at the gate and because of some interestng developments ... can any of what we have been discussing be applied to frame relay. i've been reading up on isdn and frame relay. here in australia (my part ok) frame relay is significanly cheaper than isdn services and from what the telco techies tell me the implementation is far more reliable (dropout rates and overal link stability and throughput). is it possible to run frame relay over a freebsd based hardware mix (computer+serial card+modem+ppp). sorry, if i got it all base over apex i still find some (most) of this networking a triffle confusing. warm regards jonathan ps, how is, where does frame relay sit in relation to ppp and this pppoe that is being discussed, please ? -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia ===========================================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
