On top of which, I'd say that the general philosopy is always that
you stick with the release that works for you. Surely the people who
"need" those ISDN drivers, simply stay with the release that works for
them. If they need new features as well as ISDN, they do a cost-benefit
analysis on writing drivers to fit the new framework.
Only problem with that is that eventually those old releases stop
receiving security fixes at which point it might become downright
dangerous to continue using the old release.
I think that is exactly the situation now which started this discussion
- the last release supporting ISDN was 6.4, which is to be EOL soon.
Fair point, although I'd say that's part of the cost-benefit analysis
too, where features includes "up-to-date security fixes". Anyway,
I finally reviewed the thread and an actual I4B user, Julian, seems
to have concluded that investing a bit of time in the hps code is
a net benefit, so all's well. :)
