Looks interesting...

Although it doesn't have any connection to the thing I asked about
(256Kbps ISDN) and even can't support it ("thanks" to the 1 ISDN port
rather than 2), it is something that may help.

And the extra Ehternet ports may allow other creative things, such as
connecting a server to one port (a.k.a "DMZ"), a hub with clients to
another port, and - possibly - Frame-Relay to the third one.

And in case the ISPs really stopped to support 256Kbps, the Frame-
Relay may be upgraded alternatively, and the 1 ISDN may be used to
serve dial-in calls of me (or others) from other places to the LAN,
so VPN may be avoided.

And maybe there is a model with 256Kbps support.

Nahum, your business card must be somewhere here, but it will take
more than 2 minutes to find it in the ~1000 cards here waiting for
filing. Can you send me your tel number or call me (050-237338)?

Thanks,
