Date: Tue, 26 Nov 1996 23:09:08 -0500 Organization: ServiceTech, Inc. Lines: 19 Message-ID: <329BBEE4.167EB0E7@servtech.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: boulder.syr.servtech.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386) Hello, I'm currently considering getting an ISDN line to connect to my ISP. After looking through the FAQ and the handbook from FreeBSD-2.1.5, I'm still unclear about what my options are for a terminal adapter. Reading through some catalogs, it seems that something like 3Com's Impact or USR's I-modem would suit my needs nicely. However, before I lay down any cash, I'd like to be certain that what I buy will cooperate with FreeBSD. Does anyone have any experience with these types of devices? Does an ISDN modem appear to the OS as a normal analog modem? Any advice or information is greatly appreciated. -Shawn Carey
