Stefan said, that the interactive response is better than before but exactly there are still problems (i suspect they are in the interrupt handling code of the HSCX) which have to be solved. The isdnd has to be debugged more and has to be made much more stable than it currenly is. There is almost no error recovery mechanism (with the exception what is specified in the standards itself) available. And this list can be continued for a long time - it is alpha code, give it a bit time and the eyes of some people who don't dream already at night of IRQ handling routines for not quite documented Siemens chipsets in totally undocumented card designs. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe "Those who can, do.
