Hi Dams (Damian ?)


I mailed with damien chaumette a while ago about isdn4net/isdn-light. As isdn 
is not the best maintained thing we agreed that to packages for isdn 
configuration are overkill. I have taken over the development of isdn4net a 
while ago and as isdn-light can not take care of all options of isdn we 
decided that isdn4net should be the only package. Thats the history. 

I have made a mainly bugfix release of isdn4net :

- integrating the patches from the rpm
- deleted timru options as it is obsolete
- added an option for configuring dialmode of the slave and set it default to 
auto, since ibod will not work otherwise and dialmode auto is recommended for 
the slave by isdn-faq
- added isdn link add/remove <target> for easier setup of multiple isp's 
- isdn link list will now list only active connections instead of all profiles 
in /etc/isdn/profile/link/
- reactivated isdnlog in the rpm
- added two additional driver as known driver to the startup script 
(capi4linux and hisax_fcpcipnp)

I have a ready src-rpm for it i can send you. The next plans are to make a 
manpage for isdn4net and make a web-page ready and release the new version on 
the project page. The new location for isdn4net is http://isdn4net.berlios.de 
. I mailed this URL allready to Stein Vrale, so he will add this information 
to his isdn4net site . 

The next issue I have is that drakconnect/DrakX should have better defaults. 
Currently the default is to have ONBOOT=no for configured connections 
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ippp0) and to have 
ifup=ippp0 
isdnctrl dial ippp0
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_up. 
A better way would be to have as default for a configured connection 
ONBOOT=yes. This way the pseudo-network-device is up and running on 
startup.(net_cnx_up should have then only isdnctrl dial ippp0 ofcourse ) The 
dial up is a bit faster and it is more compatible with tools for dial up. The 
common solution/workaround till now was to put a /sbin/ifup ippp0 in the 
rc.local script (see http://mandrakeuser.org). 

I know a bit longish mail, but i wanted to summarize it a bit :)

I put too a CC to cooker in, hope you don't mind

Steffen
