Oliver, I have some comments, but am looking for a good answer to this as well.
1). 2.6.27 kernels to include a version of mISDN v2.0. It's not as up to date as the full version on the mISDN.org site. 2). From my understanding chan_lcr is the preferred way to connect Asterisk to mISDN v2.0. From what I've read it does require some form of the LCR software to function. It was a whole level of added complexity that I didn't want to add to the AstLinux project (unless we're forced to do so to support mISDN in Asterisk 1.6+). From a project maintainer's point of view, having mISDN functionality in dahdi is a total win, provided that enough European ISDN hardware is supported. A more interesting approach are these new ISDN cards that appear as a network interface to the system (using a Realtek chip I believe). A few of the ISDN users who use AstLinux are starting to look at those cards. What we've decided to do at this point in the AstLinux project is to continue using mISDN v1 with Asterisk 1.4 releases. We have not been successful in building chan_misdn against Asterisk 1.6 (but then again, we haven't tried very hard either since we're hoping for a better solution as mISDN v1 has more than it's share of issues).
