Hi,
Just wonder how mature is ISDN support by FreeBSD 2.1/2.1.5 now ?
Can it handle the case of auto-dial out like the Pipeline series ?
Having considered the price structure of a 64K leased line and that
for a demand-dial ISDN setup, I think the latter is what I need for
near future need connecting to the net. Some of the issues are:
1) must have minimal setup time
2) demand-dial and timeout disconnect
3) be able to answer/connect to dial-in from ISP site regardless
of what box they use.
Those requirements are needed to give customers a fake image as
if my server is permently connected to the net.
What options do I have with FreeBSD ? I availability of software
drivers, ISDN cards and how mature and well test they are ?
Thanks in advance and please CC by email when replying.
Regards,
