At least, it isn't used one country to the west, the Netherlands. I also notice that people speaking in favour of bisdn are called 'Wolfgang' and 'Hellmuth', both your average German name. I need PPP to make my ISDN card of use and though the bisdn code may be okay (I can neither confirm nor deny that), installing it is a real pain in the you-know-what and the PPP-hack looks really yuckie to me. I would be very happy with ISDN-card support as a LKM and a PPP daemon that can talk to something else than a serial line. If I could offer help in this, feel free to mail me. - Peter
