Subject: Fractional T-1 with a FreeBSD router: Any tips?

I'm planning to install a 128 kbps fractional T-1 connection (possibly
upgrading to 384 kbps or full T-1 later), using a Pentium box running
FreeBSD as a router.

Can anyone out there who's run this configuration give me any tips (dos,
don'ts, gotchas)?  In particular: Which I/O card did you use to interface
to the T-1 DSU, and did you have any problems getting it to work with
FreeBSD?  Also, which brand of DSU did you use?

   Ross.
