I don't know how this works exactly. I know that the ISDN card has to
support the modem simulation (or is it emulation ?). I know that the
Win9x software from my card offers this function, but I don't know how
to do it in DOS. The docs that are on the CDROM are PDFs (yuck) and
they only tell about ACOPY.EXE to make a connection, which never worked
for me. But I'm sure that if it works you'll have AT LEAST a 56k6
connection. But dialing/connecting doesn't scream and takes less than
2 seconds.

CIPA (the ISDN 'thingy' that's included in UKA_PPP) is an ISDN packet
driver, not a dialer. I've never managed to dial in without UKA_PPPs
dialer. I doubt if you'll ever find a free solution because ISDN isn't
widely used/supported. Everything I tried is German and expensive. But
I thought (and I never regretted it): registering CIPA, which cost
DM 50 (ca 25 USD), isn't too much money to make the card (which costs
the double) useful. BTW, I think that registering (cheap) software isn't
bad at all.
BTW, it was on the Survpc list that somebody (a German inhabitant, of
course) told me about the simulation.
