Scholvin) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: ISDN modem question Date: 23 Sep 1996 21:18:14 GMT Organization: Lucent Technologies, Naperville, IL Lines: 23 Message-ID: <526uqm$5q4@ssbunews.ih.lucent.com> Reply-To: scholvin@lucent.com NNTP-Posting-Host: ihgp18x.ih.lucent.com Hi, everyone. I'm looking at buying an ISDN modem, either Motorola's BitSurfr or US Robotics I-modem (or maybe something else which is similar). I know that the current state of ISDN support in FreeBSD is sketchy, but since these devices are external serial devices, my hunch is that the usual serial stuff to establish connections will still work. In other words, if I have a script which currently uses cu to dial a number, and then sets up ppp and all of the necessary networking stuff for an analog (POTS) modem, will the same stuff work for an external ISDN modem on one of the COM ports? Or is there a different ppp (or maybe slip) that I will need to make this work, and if so, is that the stuff that isn't 100% flying yet? Thanks in advance for any help. I check the FAQ and the handbook, and didn't see anything about this there. If I missed it, my apologies. -- John Scholvin \ 2000 N.
