Ahh. Xorcom Rapid is based on Debian.. Maybe I need to knuckle down
and learn it... :-(

Hehe.. This is a brand new machine! I just had it custom built!.. (I
asked for minimum specs on all components deliberately).. I refer to
it as high spec, because the Xorcom docs say minimum specs are
P2/200..

I also wanted to set up this machine to be our network
firewall/nat.... Our existing firewall runs linux on a p90, and runs
fine, but I figured it's time to upgrade.. Will this cause any
problems for *?

Do you know of a source for * config files, such that I can set up the
box to allow my to at least connect a grandstream bt100 to it, and get
sample responses?, and get it to dial out on the FXO (TDM400) card I
have in it?
