Just for the record: i'm currently working on a new ISDN stack which will replace BISDN. Its much more modular and coded exactly as the specs want it. Layer 1 (I.430) runs and currently supports Siemens ISDN chipsets, Layer 2 (Q.921) runs and Layer 3 (currently only Q.931) also runs. Right now i'm working on getting the various B-channel protocols up and running and to make shure, future development of active (CAPI equipped) ISDN cards (i've got some which also support the US protocols) will fit in this model. I expect to have something ready which can be given out for alpha test by the end of the year or in the first quarter of 1998. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe There is a difference between an open mind and a hole in the head
