You always need an S0 bus in between. If you have a PBX with an S0 bus then you can just plug the ISDN cards into it, assign a number to each and set up isdnd.rc appropriately so the computers can call each other. With user-ppp on top of ISDN it should be simple. man ppp(8) and isdnd.rc(5). If you don't have a PBX then each time you connect you'll have to pay for the call, but if you're willing to do that then the mechanism will be the same. Of course, you may run out of numbers since each card has to have its own unique number. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj@muc.de gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
