On that Soekris (which at the moment is in fact sitting unused in a 
drawer) I've installed Linux 2.4.31. I've used it for approximately 8 
months while I was still working in the UK; now that I've moved back to 
Belgium I keep it around for if/when my main ADSL modem dies.

In fact, I'm considering bringing the card into use by installing it in 
the Soekris that I currently only use as a wireless access point. I 
don't expect any problems doing that.

The Sangoma drivers and scripts are well-polished; installation was 
quite easy. But that is the case only because I have a net4801 with a 
hard disk, dedicated to compiling and installing new software, which I 
then roll out on the other CF-only soekris boxen

I have no experience with FreeBSD at all. But judging from the maturity 
of the Linux drivers I'm sure they've done a good job on those as well.
