Is anybody working on or aware of an ISDN package which is under BSD copyright ? I know we have some ISDN software under GPL, but it doesn't seem to be very well supported. I'm thinking about porting the ISDN package written by M. Ulrichs (?) for LINUX to FBSD, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel. ATT it's not clear whether the original author would be agreeable to having a port put under the BSD copyright (mostly 'cos no one has asked him yet). This is a streams based package, which means adding a minimal subset of streams to FBSD. The neat thing is that you can push modules onto the stream to support various services, e.g., login or slip (there's no ppp at the moment, but it's "being worked on"). There's a module which provides a minimal AT command set. Configuration is rather baroque, sort of like sendmail :-) The package has drivers for various ISDN cards popular in Germany, mostly passive cards, but there is one active card supported. There was a big write up in the July issue of iX (one of the better UN*X magazines in Germany). If there's sufficient interest I could prob. provide a translation of the relevant parts. Gary J.
