The transputer on the card does all the negotiating for a connection, etc. I got to the point where I could download the firmware to the card, start it and get the "I'm ready for business" interrupt back. What's missing, the hardest part, is a CAPI interface. The card must be fed with CAPI commands. That's where I lost interest. Somewday I'll pick it up again and finish the driver, unless someone else does it before that. In some ways it's a little like CAM. You're a storage guy, should be right up you alley :) One problem is coming up with a clean way to integrate it into the i4b framework. This is where the netgraph stuff could be useful. If you have a Linux box somewhere, you can test using that. isdn4linux has support for the B1. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.cpqcorp.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
