Hello Tom, currently Astlinux supports all ISDN cards supported by mISDN 1.x (www.misdn.org). Yours has different requirements and that would mean that someone would have to add specific code/support to Astlinux to get your card working.
If you'd like to contribute, I am sure the devs are happy to assist getting you started. It's no rocket-science, but it may take a bit time. And you are probably the only one at the moment who could test the resulting drivers/tools. What are your requirements to ISDN? Maybe there is a cheap alternative solution available (a 1BRI HFC PCI card costs really little these days. If you need i.e. a 8BRI card it is a slightly different story - depends on your budget). regards, Ingmar Tom Chadwin wrote: > Hi Darrick > > I take it from your response that, because ISDN is scarce in the US, > Astlinux is unlikely to support it without patching?
