I'm sorry, the chance is very small. > What can I do to help? Write a driver for it. I guess, this is the only chance to get it supported. It is not _that_ difficult, because the whole protocol handling could be done by i4b. The difficult part is to get docs for it and then write a low level interface to i4b once you found out how this box works. I guess (!) that this device does not contain much intelligence and that a more or less standard Teles passive card is inside which uses the parallel port to talk to the ISAC and HSCX chips instead of the address and data bus of the ISA bus. If this is really the case, adding a low level driver would be quite a trivial task given a bit of hardware and driver writing knowledge. I doubt seriously that Teles will give out any documentation for that device. It might be possible that Linux supports this device already, so you might find some documentation there. 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
