Hi,
Is the ISDN modem a external Box that connects to a serial port? if you go
into minicom does it respond to at commands?
if the answer to these questions are true, then there should be no problems,
apart from the com port you use. it wouldn't be cua4 or cua5 but just the
cua# that the modem is attached to on the PC.
If the modem requires drivers, or is a Card that you install in the machine,
then there could be a problem. ISDN for Linux is only in a very early stage
at the moment, and Linux doesn't support Capi, which is the ISDN version of
TAPI.
If you modem requires device drivers to get it going, check with the people
that make the modem, and see if they have drivers for linux. from what you
describe about the modem using cua4 and cua5, I'm guessing this is the case.
