Hmm. I thought the same thing here, but didn't know how well it would float in general. I have ISDN and an IBM Waverunner card. I know a *little* about writing drivers, and would be willing to participate in such an effort. I doubt that I would be the right person to try and write a driver cold, though. Perhaps starting with one of the other ISDN cards is a good starting framework? I don't know how good the technical specs for the IBM WR card are, or perhaps more importantly, if they are even available. I could begin to look into it if people would be interested. > On my first programming job (which I refuse to say how long ago), I Ohhhh nooooo you don't. We're not getting into *that* one! :-) jdl
