>From the keyboard of Kevin Sheehan: > Specifically I was looking at the ITK ix1 micro (ISA, passive, BRI). No ITK cards are supported by isdn4bsd. I don't know how to translate the german word "Leidensdruck" (a direct translation would be "suffering pressure" although i doubt this is correct), but my personal "Leidensdruck" is not high enough, to get any ITK card supported under i4b. When you think about the fact, that here in Germany you are able to buy one or the other of the supported cards for ~100,-DM ( ~60 US$ ), then it is _much_ easier to go into the shop next door and buy one instead of going thru the pain of buying an unsupported card, convincing the manufacturer to give out docs (which is almost impossible), getting (mostly wrong and incomplete) docs from other souces, and then writing and testing the driver. A total different picture would be, if someone says: "I've got complete technical docs and free hardware for card XYZ, i want it being supported, what do you think, where shall i send it to and how else can i help you ?". This is one way to get such a card supported, the second way is to write the driver yourself and the third way is hiring someone to write it for you. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 559747-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 559747-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de 22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
