What is isdn4bsd ? ---------------------- - -Isdn4bsd (or in short i4b) is a package for interfacing a computer running -FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD or BSD/OS to the ISDN. - -The only ISDN protocol currently supported by the drivers for passive cards -is the BRI protocol specified in I.430, Q.921 and Q.931; better known as -DSS1 or Euro-ISDN. - -Other ISDN Protocols may be / are supported by the microcode of the supported -active ISDN cards. - -Isdn4bsd allows you to make IP network connections by using either IP packets -sent in raw HDLC frames on the B channel or by using built-in synchronous PPP -(or using userland ppp, this is experimental and only available for FreeBSD). - -For telephony, isdn4bsd can answer incoming phone calls like an answering -machine and now has preliminary dialout capabilities for voice and data calls. - - -3. Which BSD's are supported ? ------------------------------- - -FreeBSD: --------- - - FreeBSD-STABLE and FreeBSD-CURRENT is supported - by this version of isdn4bsd. - - I4b was integrated into FreeBSD in January 1999, so it is part - of the base FreeBSD system since FreeBSD 3.x. - - Please take the time to read the available documentation carefully. - - -NetBSD/i386: ------------- - The NetBSD specific support and the Diehl driver was written by - Martin Husemann, (martin@netbsd.org).

How do i report bugs ? --------------------------- - -Please submit patches ONLY as context diffs (diff -c)! - -I vastly prefer receiving bug fixes and enhancements that are clearly -differentiated.
