If the Fritz!Card really gets interrupts (while ISDN is not active) then you'll see trace output from the driver. Make certain NOT to use i4b at all before doing this !! I say that because most NTs send keep-alive packets every 10 seconds to the TE after a connection has been made. That will also cause trace output and only obfuscate things. --- 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
