Two things should (and will) be done: - several parts of the ISDN stack will be put under some sort of activation control by the device /dev/isdn. (This is one of the things the already in place "command" and "status" primitives were meant for.) - a careful look at layer one's duties must take place, meaning that PH_ACTIVATE_REQ and _IND and PH_DEACTIVATE_IND have to be properly implemented and trigger the proper actions (the layer 1 implementation is the oldest [als ich noch am blauaeugigsten war], and i rewrote the other layers at least twice each but layer 1 not, so this has to change ;-) ). hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe "Those who can, do.
