Hello,

I'm planning to setup an isdn connection between my small home lan and
the office lan.

I'll be dialing in to an Ascend Max 400, and I'd like suggestions on the
type of TA and general setup (ppp/mppp, etc) I should use on my end.  I
have setup ppp for 28.8 type modems before, and would be interested in
hearing about various setups out there in actual use.

Price is, of course, a concern, but I'd rather have a reliable
connection than an inexpensive but problematic one.  Purchasing a
seperate router/isdn box is not an option - I need to do this with mt
FreeBSD 2.1.6-R box and a TA.

If the responses are good (they usually seem to be) I'd like to create a
page about this - perhaps supplementary to FreeBSD online docs.

Thanks for your help.  Please rsvp via mail to dpb@mail.hqs.crc.com.
