My current ISP uses Ascend, anyone got a suggestion as to a specific >Ascend ISDN modem? Well, I'd suggest you ask you ISP about which modems they think are best. I just got my ISDN line (and BellSouth announced ADSL service the next day, grrrrrrr) and a Farallon Netopia 640. My ISP uses Ascends, and I've had no problems. The ISP actually recommends Netopias over Ascends. So, ask you ISP, I'm sure they could help you out. As for Ascends, they only have one or two ISDN -modems-. They have plenty of different models of ISDN routers, though. If you do decide to get an Ascend, look for a Pipeline50. P75's are just P50's with two POTS ports. P85's are just P75's with an integrated four port hub. Keep in mind, though, you have to pay extra for their 'firewall' software if you want to do any packet filtering at your ingress point. (packet filtering is included in the Netopia 640) >Matt Mike -- Mike Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer - Prototype Development GTE Government Systems - All opinions are mine, not GTE's. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
