Re: SBE wanPMC-xT3E3 support
I am going to post again in hopes that someone has possibly found something because I don't want to have to buy a Cisco box. My first T3 is going to be installed sometime in the near future and I want to be prepared for it when it shows up. I did get the recommendation for something like an AT-TN1000 from Allied Telesyn, and I have sent them an email to see if it will work in this case, but I have not heard anything yet. I will be pursuing that. http://www.alliedtelesyn.com/products/details.aspx?518 Is there a T3 card that is supported by OpenBSD? The only one I see on http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html is the SBEi wanPCI-1T3, and that one has been EOLed and their new one does not appear to be supported. I know the wanPCI-1T3 should work, so if someone knows where to get those, I would appreciate the information. l8rZ, On Mon, Aug 22, 2005 at 12:16:19PM -0700, andrew fresh wrote: I am wondering if the wanPMC-xT3E3 from SBE is supported. http://www.sbei.net/content/products/wan/wanpmc_xt3e3/ Obviously with an adaptor like the adaptPCI-PMC http://www.sbei.net/content/products/platforms/adaptpci_pmc/ They have recently taken the wanPCI-1T3 off of their site, and I am assuming EOL'd it, although I have not talked to them about it yet.

Unfortunately, I am not able to purchase one to see if it works at this point so I am hoping someone here knows.

I'm also looking into other units and methods, but am not yet comfortable to run them against some (assumed) Cisco or Juniper gear on the other side which I don't control, and where then the box would need to handle any protocols below L3, too, making the Ethernet IP only. Plus, monitoring and alerting should be easy... 8-| Best, --Toni++

I have exactly the same problem, but think about using media converters instead, speaking E3-something on the WAN side, and Ethernet on the LAN side. When I tried to talk to SBEI, they were not very helpful. Best, --Toni++
