Hellmuth: Thanks very much for the prompt reply. Taking the points in turn. 1) BACKUP files - OK I'll leave well alone. 2) I don't like seeing warning messages, hence my comment. Given that I'm re-building effectively the GENERIC kernel + ISDN bits, this is out-of-the-box stuff, as it were. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose. 3) After posting my message to the list, I touched the holidays file - that sorted that problem. At this point, when I re-tried I would get a 'no route to host' message when trying to ping something. Would entries in /etc/resolv.conf help here? Just to be clear, am I on the right track? Are my config. files OK (so far)? I start the isdnd daemon, then run my connection script, then nothing happens. BTW, is it possible to run isdnd via a terminal window under the KDE 1.x desktop? I tried, but again, failed miserably. Sigh. What's confusing me a bit is trying to work-out what I should actually be doing. I was expecting using the basic ISDN4BSD stuff to be able to ping a non-local IP address (ie: on the 'net somewhere) as the basic message of success, so that I knew I had the basic set-up correct, then add the extra stuff. I sort of concluded that I'd have to use userland stuff too, but at present I can't prove-out the basic set-up, so messing around with userland bits seems pointless. For instance, I don't think that I'm dialling out. From memory, isdntest gave a 'cause 17' message when I used it, but without wading through the source it's pretty meaningless. What compounds the issue is having to dual-boot back into Windows 2000 to post messages. A lot of useful stuff isn't up for grabs in this scenario, which makes problem-solving just that bit more difficult! I will certainly work through your suggestions, but any additional help would be most welcome. I think that I'm pretty close, but so far, no cigar! Unless I can get this bit working, I'm going to be stuck in Windoze land forever!
