The S0 line was intended to be a bus, with up to 8 devices on it. Uk0 ain't a bus, it can only handle a single terminator (that is supposed to provide the S0 bus). I don't speak about just POTS lines: it is very common here in Germany these days that you've got a complete PBX sitting on the S0 bus, as well as other devices like said cheap Teles card(s). (The PBX thing is also caused by the price policy of the Deutsche Telekom, since they've been promoting ISDN with an amount of money that was basically covering the cost for the PBX -- and, one could use the old POTS phones and modems behind the PBX.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
