The Digiboard is a fine board, it should support what you want to do.. I just do not like them.. I am not sure about ISDN.. I seem to be missing your first thread, however if all is configured properly all will work.. >I can add these to /etc/groups. What happens when I reach that magic >one-hundred-something limit in the group record? That number is 200.. Be creative, ie..... group1:*:1200:user1,user2,user3,user4,user5,etc..... group2:*:1201:user200,user201,user203,etc....... dialer:*:68:group1,group2, <>>> maybe even reinstall the OS. << Create device nodes (MAKEDEV) Edit /etc/rc.serial to support digiboard Edit /etc/ttys , enable dialin devices (ttyD is your dialin) Do a factory refresh on each modem (Check your operators manual, should be 'at&f0') Add user support for devices, Verify permission and finaly <<< REBOOT >>> If it still fails, have you tested your phone connection?? Are your going through a pbx or ksu?? Good luck... --john John Prince johnp@lodgenet.com jprince@iw.net
