In order to connect an user device, you need an ISDN adapter that supports NT mode. From http://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/i4lfaq-29.html : "When multiple devices are connected to the ISDN connection, then all user device behave as slaves, where the network terminator (NT) behaves as master and synchronizes the communication on the S0 bus. The special behavior of the network terminator is called NT mode. User devices are normally not capable of running in NT mode. As a result, user devices can not communicate with each other even when they are connected via a crossed cable. Only some special ISDN cards (HFC chipset) are capable of running in NT mode, and can directly communicate with other ISDN user devices via a crossed cable." The QuadBRI from Junghanns does it and I'm about to get one, both to connect to the public ISDN and to connect ISDN DECT base stations : http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk/page17.html The Eicon Diva server cards do it too and they seem to be an industry reference, but they are twice as expensive as the Junghanns QuadBRI for about the same functions. As soon as I get my QuadBRI, I'll report my experience with it.
