The FreeBSD handbook states that ISDN is possible simply by hooking it up to the serial port and using PPP, albeit limited to 115Kbps. 2. Joerg (my apologies if I mispelled the name, I am a product of the American public education system after all) ;) said in a post about a month ago that ISDN needed the BISDN package, which was in a state of incompleteness due to a need for complete rewrites right now. Which is correct? I have a customer who wants a machine built, wants to move to ISDN at some point in the future, and would prefer FreeBSD over Linux because of the stability.
