The BISDN package supports passive Teles ISDN cards and compatible clones.
Currently only "IP over raw HDLC" is supported, which means there is _NO_
PPP available! Both will change in the future, but nobody is able to give
a date.
We are currently in the process of rewriting the D-channel layer 1, 2 and
3 stuff, pointers to a LAPD/LAPB stack with a BSD-style copyright are
highly appreciated!
Currently the DSS1 (EuroISDN) and the german national 1TR6 protocols are
supported.
Although it seems to be quite stable, people attempting to install the
package should be prepared to
a) read (!!!) the docs and man pages before asking questions
b) help themselves first, and
c) send in diffs to docs man pages and code.
The BISDN package is available from
ftp.muc.ditec.de
in directory 'isdn' as file 'bisdn-XXX.tar.gz' where XXX represents the
release and version number.
This ftp server is mirrored by
ftp://ftp.xlink.net/pub/mirror.bisdn
There is a mailing list available at
isdn@muc.ditec.de
The list is maintained by majordomo, so i.e. to subscribe,
send a mail with the text
subscribe isdn
in the message body sent to
isdn-request@muc.ditec.de
