Not a bad idea - do you know which cards are most popular in Germany?
I know that you can't just buy any card - it has to have a
Postzulassung or something!

According to the current code in /sys/gnu/isdn and /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/isdn,
there is support for a couple of strange and unknown ISDN cards though it's
mostly a "framework" for real support later.  The authors are countrymen
of yours, though one apparently lives on an Island somewhere off the
coast of Spain, and is therefore somewhat hard to get ahold of! :-)

jkr@saarlink.de and jkrause@guug.de are the addresses I see in the
code - I believe they're the same person with two different email
addresses.  I really don't know what the status is as the original
authors seem to have all but disappeared!  Juergen?  Dietmar?  Seid
Ihr beide noch lebendig? :-)
