Does any know if a Motorola Bitsurfer Pro ISDN ISA modem works with Linux.
I have one laying around and I wondered if anyone has gottem it to work. I
know this model needs 2 IRQ's but it is really fast compared to external
models and I would really like to set up and IPMasqerade with it.

To the best of my knowledge it will not work, because of the two
IRQ's.

Uuh, the external Motorola Bitsurfr PRO is just as fast as the
internal one. Most tests reflecting slower results use a slower serial
port bottlenecking ISDN. Pacific Commware makes a 16750 serial port
allowing full ISDN bandwidth on an external TA.

It has linux support too.
