isdn4linux scripts will allways be bloated once you have the most common 
options running. Its a common flaw of isdn4linux. Once you beginn with a 
small script and you add this and that, you will have in the and again a 
bloated script or you do not support the most common uses of isdn4linux. 
Further it is a pain to support isdn under mandrake if you first have to 
determine which version the people have running. (I mean support on 
mandrakeexpert here)

Beside that drakconnect and isdn4net should work without problems.

 I could try to figure out wich cards should work with isdn4net and 
drakconnect, faster I could make a list of supported cards of isdn4net alone. 
Am I right that all modules that van be found in ldetect-lst with "ISDN:*" 
should be known to isdn4net to support all cards ? 

 If there were cards that worked with isdn-light and not with isdn4net i would 
like to know about it, so i can support it with isdn4net. For me isdn4net 
worked allways better then isdn-light. Further I have added an option to fast 
add unsupported cards. 

As you know the scripts I guess you understand the following. 

'ippp*')
                echo "Loading driver defined in modules.conf ..."
                /sbin/modprobe -v $I4L_MODULE >/dev/null
                        if test $? -ne 0; then
                          cleanup
                        fi
        ;;

A driver ippp0 can be added with an alias to the correct driver in 
modules.conf. 

> If it works as good as it worked with isdn-light, I'll do the modifications

Again if there were known problems with isdn4net that i do not know about i 
would love to hear about it, so i can fix it. I would say it works as good as 
isdn-light. I haven't heard the opposite. 

I will send the src.rpm to you per PM

Steffen
