Subject: Hardware question - WAN port for FreeBSD router!


Hi all.

Please forgive me if this post is altogether in the wrong place, but I need
help finding a certain piece of hardware.

I have a number of firewalls running (very happily) on FreeBSD.  Each one is
connected on the outside NIC to a Cisco 1601 Router, which is connected in
turn to an NTU etc

I am sure I could save a lot by installing a WAN card directly into the BSD
firewall, thereby doing without the Router altogether - FreeBSD can do all
the routing I need after all!

So - is there such a WAN serial card available?  And (most important) one
which is supported by the necessary BSD drivers?

Any pointers would be MUCH appreciated.

Regards,
Patrick O'Reilly

I've been very pleased with the Sangoma WanPipe card.

  http://www.sangoma.com/

The people are nice, the product works (although not with netgraph at the
moment).  It does Cisco HDLC, Frame Relay (100 PVCs) and Sync PPP.

Good luck,

-Les
