Documented in isdnd.rc(5), grep for "ppp-" + + - isppp VJ compression negotiation now run-time configurable using + keywords "enable-vj" / "disable-vj" with ispppcontrol + + - added new keywords to specify "budgets" for outbound calls in isdnd + to limit the number of possible calls within a given time period. + Runtime budget information and statistics are available in the isdnd + fullscreen menu display. + + - added new "ifpnp" AVM Fritz!Card PnP driver for FreeBSD >= 4.0 + contributed by Udo Schweigert. + + - added experimental hardware driver from Hans Petter Selasky for the + Teles 16.3c card based on the Cologne Chip Designs HFC-S 2BDS0 chip + called "ihfc". + notes for Teles 16.3c PnP and AcerISDN P10: For optimal performance: + -> please connect the card to the S0-bus before booting the computer. + -> do not change the cable you're using when first booted. + Other notes if the card does not work at all: + -> disconnect other isdn equipment on your S0-bus and + reboot your computer. + -> try changing the CLKDEL/stdel value for your card: + ../i4b/layer1-nb/ihfc/i4b_ihfc_pnp.c or + ../i4b/layer1/ihfc/i4b_ihfc_pnp.c + around line 100. The value can be in the range 0x0-0xf. + + - the FreeBSD >= 4.0 AVM Fritz PCI driver was moved to a separate layer 1 + driver called "ifpi". + + - the sppp subsystem was integrated into the i4bisppp/isp driver. There + is no need to include something like "option sppp" into your kernel + config file anymore. The spppcontrol utility is no longer usable to + configure the i4bisppp/isp driver, instead use the new ispppcontrol + utility! + + - FreeBSD >= 4.0: "iwic" driver for Winbond PCI ISDN chipset (W6692) + added, used i.e. in ASUSCOM P-IN100-ST-D and Dynalink IS64PPH. + + - added more protocol decoding to isdntrace + + - isntrace now adds a time/datestamp to the trace filename, signal USR1 + behaviour has changed, see manpage. + + - ispppcontrol now has a new option of setting the LCP timeout value + + - add directory mpd which contains docs and files on howto interface + i4b by using the netgraph subsystem to the multilink ppp daemon, mpd. + + - add i4bing, a raw HDLC B-channel interface to the NetGraph subsystem + + - add a V.21 modem emulator written by Poul-Henning Kamp + + - a new system configuration keyword "extcallattr" was added to isdnd + which allows to configure the display of the extended caller + attributes "screening indicator" and "presentation indicator" in + isdnd's log file. + + +beta release 0.90 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + - the following cards are no longer supported for FreeBSD 4.0 and up: + + AVM Fritz!Card PnP + AVM Fritz!Card PCMCIA + Dynalink IS64PH + ITK ix1 Micro + USRobotics Sportster ISDN TA intern + + The AVM cards, the USR card and perhaps one of the ITK cards are likely + to be resurrected in the future, we just ran out of time, docs and/or + into programming problems for this release. + + - the rbch driver was enhanced to support the generation of accounting + information in HDLC mode. The bytecount and bps fields in isdnd + fullscreen mode now show meaningful information. + + - most of the layer1 drivers have been rewritten to support the new bus + and driver architecture for FreeBSD 4.0. + + - the ipr interfaces now support logging of some of the first ip packets + of a new connection and displaying them in the isdnd logs. To enable + this, add a line like: "options IPR_LOG=32" to your kernel config + file. The parameter to IPR_LOG specifies the number of packets to be + logged. + + - support for FreeBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE has been removed. + The last beta release which supports this OS versions is i4b-0.83. + + - isdnd now recognizes two new keywords in the system section, mailto + and mailer. mailer is used to configure a mail program and is typically + set to /usr/bin/mail and mailto is set to the address of the isdnd + administrator. If both are set and a fatal error inside isdnd + happenes, mail is sent to the address in mailto with the error + message before isdnd terminates. + + - isdnd.rc now has an optional new "controller" section. This will be + used to specify different D-channel protocols in the future. It looks + like this: + + controller + protocol = dss1 # dss1 (default) or d64s (leased line) + + Please note that leased line support (d64s) is NOT yet functional! + + - isdnmonitor is now able to be used like isdnd in fullscreen mode from + a remote machine. + +EOF |
