Which chipset does the card use ? There might be a driver for a card with the same chipset that you could start with. There are drivers for a number of passive cards which use the Siemens chips (ISAC and HSCX). You might also check out whether Linux already supports the card. If you get a driver working send a mail to isdn-dev@hcs.de. This is a group which is working on an ISDN package which will, hopefully, find its way into FreeBSD in the near future. For that matter, we might be able to help you out with the driver (answering questions, etc.). We can't write the driver since cards used in Europe don't include the NT-1. That's provided by the phone companies here. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.dec.com
