Hello, I use only Debian-Packages vor my ISP. A realy good choice. Only the gateway between UUnet (8/34MBit Frame-Relay) and my own Subnet-Router is a CISCO.

NO MORE TELCO >CHARGES - YEAH!!!! I use Lucent ORINOCO WaveLAN. 1 Central-Outdoor-Router COR-1100 6 Remote-Outdoor-Router ROR-1100 (in a distance of 500-2000 meters to the COR-1100 with 14dbi YAGI-Antennas) 118 Access-Clients (because I use the half of my C-Block for the Access-Clients and 7 IP's for configuring the Outdoor-Routers) All Access-Clients have full 128 kBit access to the net. Please note, that the ORINOCO make effectiv around 7 MBit/sec if you use YAGI-Antennas betweent the ROR and COR, 25mW-WAVE- LAN-Cards (35mW are not alowed with the YAGI's) and the Clients use a small 2dbi Indoor-Antenna. If the clients use the YAGI-Antenna too, they can have a distance up to 1500 meters to the ROR. This means, you can have Clients in a effectiv distance up to 3500 meters... - Interesting ???
