Initial entry of ISDN4BSD into the FreeBSD tree.
ISDN4BSD is the work of our brand-new comitter: Hellmuth Michaelis, who has done a tremendous amount of work to bring us this far. There are still some outstanding issues and files to bring into the tree, and for now it will be needed to pick up all the extra docs from the isdn4bsd release. It is probably also a very good idea to subscribe to the isdn@freebsd.org mailing list before you try this out. These files correspond to release "beta Version 0.70.00 / December 1998" from Hellmuth.

+.Op Fl b
+.Op Fl d
+.Op Fl f Ar filename
+.Op Fl h
+.Op Fl i
+.Op Fl l
+.Op Fl n Ar number

+.Op Fl T Ar unit
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm isdntrace
+is part of the isdn4bsd package and is used to provide the user with a
+mnemonic display of the layers 1, 2 and 3 protocol activities on
+the D channel and hex dump of the B channel(s) activities.
+.Pp
+Together with two passive supported cards and an easy to build cable it can
+also be used to monitor the complete traffic on a S0 bus providing S0 bus
+analyzer features.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+utility is only available for passive supported cards.
+.Pp
+The following options can be used:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl a
+Run
+.Nm
+in analyzer mode by using two passive cards and a custom cable which can
+be build as described in the file
+.Em cable.txt
+in the isdn4bsd source distribution. One card acts as a receiver for the
+transmitting direction on the S0 bus while the other card acts as a receiver
+for the receiving direction on the S0 bus. Complete traffic monitoring is
+possible using this setup.
+.It Fl b
+switch B channel tracing on (default off).
+.It Fl d
+switch D channel tracing off (default on).
+.It Fl f
+Use
+.Ar filename
+as the name of a file into which to write tracing output (default filename is
+isdntrace<n> where n is the number of the unit to trace).
+.It Fl h
+switch display of header off (default on).
+.It Fl i
+print layer 1 (I.430) INFO signals to monitor layer 1 activity (default off).
+.It Fl l
+switch displaying of Layer 2 (Q.921) frames off (default on).
+.It Fl n
+This option takes a numeric argument specifying the minimum
+frame size in octetts a frame must have to be displayed. (default 0)
+.It Fl o
+switch off writing trace output to a file (default on).
+.It Fl p
+Use
+.Ar filename
+as the name of a file used for the -B and -P options (default filename
+is isdntracebin<n> where n is the number of the unit to trace).
+.It Fl r
+Switch off printing a raw hexadecimal dump of the packets preceding
+the decoded protocol information (default on).
+.It Fl u
+Use
+.Ar number
+as the unit number of the controller card to trace (default 0).
+.It Fl B
+Write undecoded binary trace data to a file for later or remote
+analyzing (default off).
+.It Fl F
+This option can only be used when option -P (playback from binary data file)
+is used. The -F option causes playback not to stop at end of file but rather
+to wait for additional data to be available from the input file.
+.Pp
+This option is useful when trace data is accumulated in binary format (to
+save disk space) but a monitoring functionality is desired.
+(default off).
+.It Fl P
+Read undecoded binary trace data from file instead from device (default off).
+.It Fl R
+Use
+.Ar unit
+as the receiving interface unit number in analyze mode.
+.It Fl T
+Use
+.Ar unit
+as the transmitting interface unit number in analyze mode.
+.El
+.Pp
+When the USR1 signal is sent to a
+.Nm
+process, the currently used logfiles are reopened, so that logfile
+rotation becomes possible.
+.Pp
+The trace output should be obvious. It is very handy to have the following
+standard texts available when tracing ISDN protocols:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
+.It Ar I.430
+ISDN BRI layer 1 protocol description.
+.It Ar Q.921
+ISDN D-channel layer 2 protocol description.
+.It Ar Q.931
+ISDN D-channel layer 3 protocol description.
+.It Ar 1TR6
+German-specific ISDN layer 3 protocol description. (NOTICE: decoding
+of the 1TR6 protocol is included but not supported since i dont have
+any longer access to a 1TR6 based ISDN installation.)
+.El
+.Pp
+
+.Nm Isdntrace
+automatically detects the layer 3 protocol being used by looking at the
+Protocol Discriminator (see: Q.931/1993 pp. 53).
+.Pp
+
+
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width daddeldi -compact
+.It Pa /dev/i4btrc<n>
+The devicefile(s) used to get the trace messages for ISDN card unit <n>
+out of the kernel.
+.El
+
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The command:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+isdntrace -f /var/tmp/isdn.trace
+.Ed
+.Pp
+will start D channel tracing on passive controller 0 with all except B
+channel tracing enabled and logs everything into the output file
+/tmp/isdn.trace.
