Hi,

an easy but a little expensive way is to use an external terminal adapter
for ISDN at your serial line! The terminal adapater is like a hayes
compatible modem and you can use all programms, wich support a modem :-)
On my site it works without problems with 115 kb/s data rate an 64 kb/s
over the ISDN line! Fast, stable and no thinking about special devices!

But I hope, that in the future there are devices avalaible for
ISDN-cards, wich are in germany _very_ cheap and of course fast :-)

Michael
