Install the isdnutils package, and configure it similar to the setup scripts at ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/cistron/linux/isdn/ . Personally, I dislike having to become root for opening and closing ISDN connections, so I've made a perl wrapper that does "isdn-up": -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dialout 506 Nov 6 12:45 /usr/local/bin/isdn-up #! /usr/bin/perl -w # # isdn-up Force a dialout. # # Sanitize for security $ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin'; delete @ENV{'IFS', 'CDPATH', 'ENV', 'BASH_ENV'}; $DEVICE="ippp0"; $REMOTEMSN="8800999"; # CistroN system("ifconfig", $DEVICE, "up"); system("isdnctrl", "addphone", $DEVICE, "out", $REMOTEMSN); system("isdnctrl", "dial", $DEVICE); # Route should taken care of by /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/isdnutils... #system("/sbin/route", "add", "default", $DEVICE); isdn-down is similar, but does hangup and delphone of course.
