Let's just say that the short-term savings of buying an ISDN card rather than a router may not be as high as the long-term savings in hair-restoring lotion if you go the other way. Although, if there were a decent driver for a card for NetBSD I can't see why it would be terribly unreliable. I've not had problems with PPP links under NetBSD. It's Windows and Windows NT systems that really cause the pain. cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
