Yes and no. isdn4bsd is (currently) geared towards a Siemens ISDN chipset mostly found on European internal boards. Some manufacturers, such as Teles, released an US version of their boards mostly adding an Uk0 interface (as the 2 wire i/f is called over here). Some US manufacturers have boards with this chipset. Another thing is protocol support for this board. I4b currently only supports the Q.931 signalling protocol, in the US something different is used. I know of someone who is working on this for the US, but i have no idea if he still does and in what state it is. Another way to go were to get an active card for wich an US protocol is supported and make that run for i4b - 2 or 3 other people are working on this. But in its current form isdn4bsd is not usable in the US. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe "Those who can, do. Those who can't, talk.
