There's no special support required for a so-called terminal adapter card, since it behaves to the system like any other RS-232 terminal, only at a higher speed. If you can live with 115 kbps (which is less than two bonded ISDN channels), you get it ``out of the box''. True internal ISDN adapters are another matter. There's beta-quality support available for some cheap (and dumb) cards right now, but at the moment, only for the German 1TR6 and European EDSS1 switch protocols. (The Deutsche Telekom pushes ISDN heavily these days.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
