The Ascend NetWarp is based on the Siemens chipset. It also comes in a non-NT1 version (the NetWarp 128 U/T) for Europe. I am currently working to add support for US D-Channel protocols to both BISDN and the upcoming isdn4bsd packages. Things are proceeding, albeit slowly. I'm currently waiting for proper docs to arrive for the DMS-100 specs. If anyone has access to either the AT&T 5ESS specs or the Bellcore National ISDN-1(2,3) specs, it would be greatly helpful. - Bruce ======================================================================== || Bruce M.
