But I don't know how to : install ISDN (EDSS1) (The Author of the ISDN port tell's me, that the : NICCY 1016 and the Creatix S0 are supported). 2.1.0-RELEASE uses V0.0.1 of these drivers. ftp.uni-stuttgart.de contains V0.0.2, which supports Teles-16-Cards and it should be easily to apply into the kernel source. : If there is an ISDN-Card installed and options/devices set in the kernel : (which?), may I use it like a modem? With kermit or seyon? I think, that you can use the device like a modemdevice, but you can only call out with X.75/HDLC/XXXX, that means the other side must also be capable of these protocols. The other side cant be a normal modem. Under Linux it is possible to emulate a normal modem on a passive ISDN-card (like Teles-16), but you'll need a P90 to gain 9600Baud throughput. The author says, that direct IP-routing with active NICCY's works stable. But i dont know, how stable passive NICCY's (like 1016) or the passive Teles-16 are. I'll testing this next month. I'm very happy with my ISDN-Zyxel Elite2864ID, which is an external solution over a serial cable and it emulates a 28.8k Modem and serves X75/V110/V120/HDLC/PPP-Calls (V42bis-Compression on every protocol) My IP-Connection: dial with X.75, loggin in, starting /usr/sbin/ppp. HTH (Hope that helps) :) Lars.
