I thought that Jordan might have been on to something. I still don't mind calling them up, since it looks as if we might be on to a better route to the real info, but it won't do any harm to compare notes. Do you think that the idea of a US (or other foreign) commercial company would make a difference? Maybe I can swing something there. > In the meantime, since the U-ISDN and isdn4linux Linux drivers, > the structure of the boards is pretty obvious and (through written code > in the drivers mentioned above and below) documented Well, I don't know if they're documented.

Well, that's good news, anyway. Jordan, where is it? Greg
