[more snip] actually, I exchanged mail with Julius Miller from Alpha Telecom some time ago after he sent a mail to one of the FreeBSD mail lists. I pointed out to him that all the active ISDN development is happening in Europe and told that I'd be more than happy to work with him and Alpha Telecom in the future, but couldn't guarantee that any work done here would also be useful in North America. He sent me a nice thank you and since then I haven't heard anything. So, one can hardly claim that this resource is being wasted, although this mail exchange wasn't exactly public. We (the active ISDN developers) would be more than happy to finally have someone in North America in the group. If you're really interested then join the freebsd-isdn mail list and send a message to that effect. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.dec.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
