hi folks,

thanks for the previous reply pointing me to the documentation... very
useful.  I am now much further on than I was however... a few problems
remain.

I have two machines, both with Elsa Microlink PCI modems in them.  Both
machines have almost identical setups, and the ISDN in the kernel is
configured as follows in both:

options ELSA_QS1PCI
device isic0
pseudo-device "i4bq921"
pseudo-device "i4bq931"
pseudo-device "i4b"
pseudo-device "i4btrc" 4
pseudo-device "i4bctl"
device "i4brbch" 4
device "i4bipr" 4

Both machine report the following on boot:

> isic0: <ELSA MicroLink ISDN/PCI> port 0x2070-0x2073,0x2080-0x20ff mem
0x41400000-0x4140007f irq 10 at device 14.0 on pci0
> isic0: Error, IPAC version 2 unknown!
> device_probe_and_attach: isic0 attach returned 6

will this IPAC error cause the modems to fail?  if so, what can I do to fix
this?


/etc/rc.conf is configured as follows:

ifconfig_ipr0="inet 172.16.200.7 172.16.200.5 netmask 255.255.255.255"

with the IP address reversed in the other machine.


I am assuming from what I have read, that so long as my isdnd.rc is correct,
the line should be brought up when a packet wants to get from
172.16.200.7 -> 172.16.200.5 ??  Is this correct?

my isdnd.rc is as follows (phone numbers hidden):

# MSDW

system

acctall    off
mailer    /usr/sbin/sendmail
mailto    si@mystery-machine.com
monitor-allowed  no
useacctfile   no

controller

protocol   dss1

entry

name    MSDW
b1protocol   hdlc
callbackwait  0
calledbackwait  0
dialin-reaction  callback
dialout-type  normal
dialrandincr  on
dialretries   5
direction   inout
idletime-outgoing 60
idletime-incoming 120
isdncontroller  -1
isdnchannel   -1
isdntxdel-incoming 5
isdntxdel-outgoing 5
local-phone-dialout  0207xxxxxxx
local-phone-incoming 0207yyyyyyy
remote-phone-dialout 0207yyyyyyy
remote-phone-incoming 0207xxxxxxx
usrdevicename  ipr
usedown    no


Problems are... one machine reports "ERR init_controller: no ISDN controller
found!" when I run isdnd manually - the other machine doesn't, despite both
machine being configured almost identically.  And trying to connect to the
other machine via the IP numbers assigned to ipr0 has no effect whatsoever.

Any help very much appreciated.


thanks,

Si.
