- Blake,
-
- Came across your post, and you look like just the guy to answer my
- question, as I have not been able to locate the answer myself, and lord
- knows Apple doesn't list a technical e-mail address anywhere.
-
- I am looking to upgrade to ISDN, and using interramp like yourself, I am
- going to go with the Motorola Bitsurfr Pro (which they certified will work
- with interramp). However, I use a Mac Powerbook 520c, and was wondering
- whether or not my serial port was fast enough for bonding 2 B channels
- together. I have assumed, correctly I hope, that it is fast enough for
- using at least 1 channel for 56 kbps.
-
- TIA
