ISDN adapters

Patrick

Would anyone recommend any good ISDN adapters that work both in linux and FreeBSD?
I'll want them to able to support multilink so I can connect at 128bps.

Your in luck mate

I just recently (as of day) installed a system into a company in dublin to provide them a dial-up isdn box that is a mail gate way for them. I used a card called "Mr. ISDN" sad really - winbond chipset. Similar to that of the Eicon Diva and the like and it works on linux since kernel version 2.2.12- we are at 2.4.18 now

heres a list of all known working cards/devices:

Anything from this list will work. I recomend isdn 4 linux aswell. You can get it here - ftp://ftp.isdn4linux.de/pub/isdn4linux/utils/

Most usefull and allows you to use 128k internet access.

http://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/ <- good isdn resource.

I'll be doing a write up on it, as i found very little actual software support for the OS i used, which was Slackware 8.0

Regards,

Thanks very much for that reply man I have slackware 8.0. I don't mind using that. All the clients are debian woody. Atm we're using an external usb winbond based adapter in win2kpro. It's not to slow. I know it's strange to have the gateway in windows when the clients are linux! However I'm not bothered to setup a freebsd/linux based gateway unless it's going to be faster.
We also have a pci winbond chipset one but I can't remeber the chipset. I'll check later comparing to the one on ur list of cards to see if it's supported.
Any thots?
