Two things should (and will) be done:

	- several parts of the ISDN stack will be put under some sort
	  of activation control by the device /dev/isdn. (This is one
	  of the things the already in place "command" and "status"
	  primitives were meant for.)

	- a careful look at layer one's duties must take place, meaning
	  that PH_ACTIVATE_REQ and _IND and PH_DEACTIVATE_IND have to be
	  properly implemented and trigger the proper actions (the layer 1
	  implementation is the oldest [als ich noch am blauaeugigsten war], 
	  and i rewrote the other layers at least twice each but layer 1
	  not, so this has to change ;-) ).
