The telcos in Europe implemented ISDN in accord with the ISTEC standards. But the Americans (of which I'm one, so don't flame me) typically went their own way and ignored the rest of the world. So we need docs that allow us to identify how the US standards differ from the ISTEC stuff so that we can put in support for them. Once that's done we need someone to test it, of course. I guess you're volunteering ? we've already had a few volunteers to work on beating isdn4bsd into shape for the North American market, but they somehow always disappeared without a trace. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.dec.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
