Subject: Router and PCMCI questions as pertaining to the kernel

>1) PCMCIA is support I know (TYPE II at least). Is type III (cardbus)

>2) Does anyone have any good numbers comparing a Linux box w/ ISDN card
>(Pentium 100 or better... likely a PPro 200 with enough RAM) to say a
>Pipeline 75 as far as latencies. We have been displeased, here where I

>it does other things wrong too. It also looks like we are moving to

>take orders when the DNS changes occur, so it gives us the opportunity
>to buy another Pipe (or the Cisco equivelant though I have been told it
>has no firewall or one that is worse than the pipe) or to switch to a
>Linux box acting as router/firewall. So again, the question is what
>kind of latencies does a good linux box have compared to a Pipelin 75 or

>3) (This one I would ask people respond to on comp.os.linux.hardware if
>you can find my post on the subject o rin private... it is way off
>topic.) Can anyone recommend a great ISDN card that works with Linux?
>Yes, I have read the list that are compatible... now I am looking for
>recommendations. Also, what is the price range on these around the USA?
>(Haven't begun my search that far yet.)
