I am running BSD/OS 2.0 and will have a 56K frame relay line shortly. If 
I run a standard RISC based serial card (one that is recommended by BSD) 
and the DSU that my ISP is using, will I need anything else to do frame 
relay? Do I need any special drivers or a patch for BSD? I have spoken to 
a vendor who is developing a serial card/DSU combination that requires a 
$200 software package to run with BSD. I was wondering if they all 
require some special software, and if the software is specific to the 
serial card, the DSU, or the operating system, and if there is an 
independent source out there for frame relay upgrades for BSD.
