Morning all you lovely people...
I'm involved with a charitable organisation that is organising a series of conferences next month, part of the organisation of which involves relocating their offices to the place the conferences take place.
There will be ISDN lines there, and as their resident Free Software Hero, they've asked me to build a Linux box to act as a router for them so they can access the internet while the conferences are going on.
I'll be using SuSE 8.2 (of course), and just wondered whether anyone had any recommendations of cards that they've found work particularly well, that are currently available for purchase in the UK.
I'll be doing the usual compatibility research one does when looking at buying hardware, but personal experience is always (IMHO) more useful than an official "yes, it works".
Cost is something of an issue, I don't know a definite budget, but being a charity, they only have finite resources.
I have an ASUSLink card which definitely worked with SuSE (8.0 I think). Since I no longer have an ISDN line (now on ADSL - woohoo!), you can loan/have it for free if you like. It's an internal PCI card. However, for ease of use and setup, I'd probably recommend using something like IPCop rather than SuSE, since it'll save you some hassle. Give me a shout if you're interested. HTH... -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
