Re: ISDN Adapter or Eth Router or Serial



If you choose the ISDN router take a look at the Symplex RO-1:
	www.symplex.com

Works well for me on Debian, Redhat & SuSE boxes.  All are
networked through an ethernet switch and connected to the
outside world via the Symplex RO-1 (even have a couple of
WindowsNT boxes on the network using the RO-1 as well).

You don't need any special ISDN settings in the kernel -- just
regular plain old ethernet.  Setup your default gateway to
be the Symplex.  It has its own IP address on one side and
an ISP supplied IP address (can be dynamic) on the otherside
and routes packets to/from those addresses.  Its really pretty
simple.
