What cards can you get for PCs for Frame Relay support?? (Is that the same as 
X.21??) I have been enquiring about leased lines recently, and all the 
companies seem to offer two options - with and without a router.
I've no idea if I'm oversimplifying here, but since we're only going to be 
getting one IP address, for a Linux box to use for IP masquerading, can I 
assume that we don't need a fully-fledged router? Can we simply get a frame 
relay interface card for the Linux machine, and plug the leased line direct 
into that??
If so, what card is best to buy?? And what is the kernel support like for it? 
How do I configure it?
I'm sorry if these questions are a bit basic, but I've never had the chance 
to play with leased lines at all yet... Hopefully the day will come soon! 
Thanks for any replies,
Jonathan
