Hi,

Ok, this is what I would have to do to debug i4b:

* learning the ISDN standard

* learning how i4b is structured (ok, that is somehow documented)

That's about 20h work until I can start doing anything. I'll probably
do something about it (I'll build up my first test-computer with 2
ISDN-cards this afternoon), but without any support from the
developers I don't have much hope.

I *have* hacked other programs programs like Emacs before, but only
because I had an idea where to look at. What I whished from you would
have been a hint in which part of i4b my problem is caused and how it
may be solved. All I got from you is a nice comment like "I don't have
your problem, so I don't care". Sorry, but that's not very satisfying
for me. I have a bit experience with the way bugs are handled by the
Emacs-, gcc- and Samba-developers and all of them are usually
interested in fixing bugs.

My question to you: do you want to write an ISDN-package that fits for
*your* needs, or do you want to build a general-purpose package? If
you don't care for my problems, I would have to do everything on my
own and that would be probably way to time consuming for me. 

Just my 2 cents,
Jochen
