Subject: [m0n0wall] serial interface support (external/internal POTS modems)

Hello,

I know serial interfaces work under FreeBSD. I used
to run an external serial modem as my primary internet
connection before I got DSL and... switched to Gentoo. :)

So, is the lack of serial modem support in m0n0wall
based on lack of developer interest? Or is it more
serious, such as a technical difficulty?

I would echo the importance of failover, but that's something m0n0 doesn't
do yet...

Perhaps when there is failover support adding a serial option for a
low-speed backup will make sense

Personally, I would look forward to it - particularly if someone can find a
compatible mini-PCI for the soekris or pcengines platforms... if it's a PC
only feature, I'd still end up using NetGear's for those cases...
