The cards supported are not yet(?) availible for North American ISDN standards. + + <p>You should be aware that this code is largely under development. Specifically, drivers have only been written for two manufacturers cards. <p>PC ISDN cards support the full bandwidth of ISDN, 128Kbs. These cards are often the least expensive type of ISDN equipment. + <p>Under FreeBSD 2.1.0 and 2.1.5, there is early unfinished ISDN code under /usr/src/gnu/isdn. This code is out of date and should not be used. If you want to go this route, get the bisdn stuff. This code has been removed from the main source tree starting with FreeBSD 2.2. + <p>There is the bisdn ISDN package available from <url url="ftp://ftp.muc.ditec.de/isdn" name="ftp.muc.ditec.de"> supporting FreeBSD 2.1R, FreeBSD-current and NetBSD. *************** *** 55,66 **** <item>Dr. Neuhaus - Niccy 1016 </itemize> ! There are several limitations with the bisdn stuff. ! Specifically the following features usually associated with ISDN are not ! supported. <itemize> ! <item>No PPP support, only raw hdlc. This means you cannot connect to a ! some standalone routers, such as a Cisco unit. <item>Bridging Control Protocol not supported. <item>Multiple cards are not supported. <item>No bandwidth on demand. --- 56,66 ---- <item>Dr. Neuhaus - Niccy 1016 </itemize> !

This is not supported on most TA's, except for specific(expensive) models that have two serial ports. Do not confuse ! this with channel bonding. ! This is a very usefull feature for example if you have an dedicated internet ISDN connection at your office and would like to tap into it, but don't want to get another ISDN line at work. A router at the office location can manage a dedicated B channel connection (64Kbs) to the ! internet as well as a use the other B channel for anything else, ! including dialin or dialout to another location or dynamically bonding ! it with the internet connection for more bandwidth. - An alternate use of this is to connect to 2 different branch offices at - the same time from the same ISDN line at your central office. --- 205,218 ---- have 2 SEPERATE INDEPENDANT PPP connections to 2 separate sites at the SAME time. This is not supported on most TA's, except for specific(expensive) models that have two serial ports. Do not confuse ! this with channel bonding, MPP etc. ! This can be very usefull feature, for example if you have an dedicated internet ISDN connection at your office and would like to tap into it, but don't want to get another ISDN line at work. A router at the office location can manage a dedicated B channel connection (64Kbs) to the ! internet, as well as a use the other B channel for a seperate data connection. ! The second B channel can be used for dialin, dialout or dynamically bond(MPP etc.) with the first B channel for more bandwidth. ! ! <p>An ethernet bridge will also allow you to transmit more than just IP traffic, you can also send IPX/SPX or whatever other protocols you use.</p> >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
