Yes the NT1 is there, its sort of telephone jack, but with thin cable. is it the TA you are talking about ? Now i am getting a little clue. This NT1 is connected to the router. So i have to connect this to my linux box from which my linux box (which will be set up to act as router ) will dial. i will read ISDN how to for this. BTW where can i connect the cable comming from NT1 to my linux box ? is there any special converter i have to plug to connect this cable to my ethernet card of linux box ? > > |2) ISDN connection from an ISP in Ahmedabad. > > |Now i am planning to buy zyxel prestige 1001h (suggested by ISP ) but > |before that, i want to see whether i can obviate the need it by linux. > > If the zyxel prestige 1001h is a router... then it'll have a huge price > markup over a regular TA ...
