Hubbard" Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk If you would be interested in actually implementing support for the Teles card, then by all means join the discussion! If not, then all I can say is that this whole issue is waiting for people who actually want to DEVELOP ISDN support rather than just wondering if someone else is going to do it. The original authors are somewhat disappointed that they've gotten no offers of help and many requests for more support. They do ISDN for a living, and can't afford to support everyone for free. They need help! So as I said before in this list, if you're interested in HELPING DEVELOP ISDN support then by all means talk to jkr@saarlink.de. If you just want someone else to do it for you, then you're in the wrong place! :-( I'm also sorry if this sounds somewhat harsh, but I've never seen a part of FreeBSD where so many people asked for help but were so unwilling to give it. It's quite sad! :( We don't use any of the FreeBSD ISDN code here in the U.S., and if anything is ever going to come of this code then the people in Germany are going to have to help Juergen and Dietmar do it - it's that simple.
