In the Netherlands (where ISDN has become very popular) you almost always need syncPPP; sometimes X.75 will do too. AFAIK noone uses the ISDN code in /usr/src, but a separate distribution called bisdn. It supports the Teles, but no syncPPP or X.75 yet (which means it's useless for me and most others in the Netherlands). -- Peter Mutsaers | Abcoude (Utrecht), | Trust is a good quality plm@xs4all.nl | the Netherlands | for other people to have
