Do the TA's require special drivers for the serial port which are win32 apps, or are there drivers for some TAs that run on BSD? (I couldn't find any mention of this in the BSD handbook.) I'm guessing that the easier option is to get an ISDN router and an ethernet card, but this is a significantly more expensive option. Anyone out there with experience here? I would guess that there are a few of you BSD folks running network services on ISDN. Thanks very much, -david kulp. Get an optional, serial hardware that can run faster than PC's mediocle 115200bps limited chip/board. With such slower serial hardware, you can't actually exploint digital line's speed, especially if you want to do an MP on the link. Ask your PC dealer for details about "faster serial" that gives you 234000bps. As for the driver issue, no, for PC's, TA's are merely a faster Haye's modems. Hope this helps, junichi
