You could at least ensure that the driver detects your card properly and loads. Once this is the case it would be up to you when you would want to switch one connection to this card (or if you would prefer getting another BRI installed). >> What are your requirements to ISDN? > > We have three offices, two with BRI, one with PRI.

If you have just one BRI per office (2 lines), you could simply buy an HFC-based card and you are ready to go. That would be the fastest and simplest solution. What kind of hardware (board/system) do you have in mind? A net5501? Or a Via board? > We have the Diva card because it was installed in our old mail server > to allow unified fax and SMS.

If this works and people are happy, you can still decide if you would want to run on embedded hardware with Astlinux + customized driver set to support your Diva card or go with Astlinux + hfc card. regards, Ingmar ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
