The RAD FCD-24 (E1, 2 MBit) are only for some Stand-Alone-Servers.
Because I have already 4 for free, I am looking for X.21 PCI-Cards.
But if I see the price of 499 + 49 + 65 = 615 US$ I can get for
twice the price a working CISCO which all included and need only a
"10Base-T" in the Server.

Generaly it is only one server which is connected to the E1
Maybe a workststion to, but thats all.

I know an Enterprise in Germany which sell used CISCO 7200 but with
waranty (if I need more power then an E1).
