RE: ISDN Modem

[Kevin Mitchell <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree about the router.  I use an Ascend Pipeline and it works
wonderfully.  The Ascend Pipeline seems to work much better than the Cisco
ISDN routers do when connecting to us (Iserv).  The Cisco ISDN routers
also seem to have experienced a few security bugs a while back (check
bugtraq for the info on these).

I'll ask the network guys @ our place and see if they have any more
suggestions.
