Very Computer

I'm trying to set up a Linux system that will be connected to the Net via a
Fractional T1 (128k) from SprintLink. I don't really want to shell out the
money for a CISCO router right now, so I want to connect a Kentrox DSU
directly to the Linux box and let it do the routing. What model do I need?
I've got the catalog here, and was looking at a Kentrox 7822-2. I really don't
know if that's the right one or not though. I need it to be able to eventually
move up towards a full T1. Also, I assume I need some type of V.35 interface
for the Linux box. I haven't found any information on those. What brand/model
do I need that Linux supports? Thanks for any help you can give.

Actually, you can ask Kentrox.  I have been working with them to get
people to write Linux drivers for new products.  They have/will have
boards that connect directly to the phone wire for both 56K frame
relay and T1.  Both will have Linux drivers available.
