Re: [LI] Linux Router

NSE does not use Linux. They use Windows NT WS on the dealers side. So Linux driver for Eicon card may be a problem. Let me check with NSE itself as I know some people out there and then will get back to you.
The reason I asked the question as I feel there are certain work to be done certain way. For e.g. in your case Router-- When a hardware device doing its job, let's not try to put a SW device like PC with Linux or any OS to that job.
But then after understanding your point of view, I have realized that what I feel may not be relevant to your case. I will try to find some way out. 

Thanx & regards,

Vaibhav




Thanks for the advice. Would a Linux driver for these cards be available?
I did a quick check on the Hardware-HOWTO and Eicon cards (Eicon.Diehl)
are listed but not as ones with an X.25 Interface. The ones listed there
look more like Ethernet NICs. Does NSE use Linux...

Several reasons. The config terminal on a Motorola (my model, Vanguard
300) is rudimentary to say the least. I also have some experiences with
service/support that I would rather not mention in a forum like this.
Lastly, most VSAT users in India belong to Educational institutions who
have no money left to buy something a Cisco after paying for the
VSAT+Server+ISP-Rentals and I wanted to see if a cheap and efficiently
configurable option could be made available in such situations.

Thank you once again for your interest
