AE> Think you or your BT engineer have installed the wrong thing :-) Quote from bt.com below!!! I'm puzzled, must be some kind of USB TA embedded??? BTW, watch out for the BT Speedway ISDN card. The new versions did NOT work easily with Linux when I tried them. The old cards are fine as they have the Hisax chipset, but the new ones require the CAPI drivers... The cheap Eicon cards work fine, as do a lot of the real cheapies, which tend to be based on the Winbond chipset... I've got a number of servers running ISDN with various ISP's and a number of different ISDN cards, mostly with Business Highway... Very few problems... HTH, Mark. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Please note: only Home Highway boxes installed after 1st November 2001 have a USB socket. To connect in this way you must have: A USB port on the PC or Apple Mac you will be connecting to the Home Highway box. This port is identifiable by the three-pronged symbol, and could be located on the back, side, monitor or elsewhere on your computer A compatible computer Operating System. These are: PC : Windows 98, 98SE, 2000 Professional, Millennium Edition (Me). Apple Mac : Mac OS 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2. Please note: these are the only Operating Systems that are supported by the Home Highway USB function. If you use any other Operating System on your computer, such as Windows 95, you will not be able to connect via the USB and will either need to upgrade your Operating System or connect your computer via a Terminal Adapter or ISDN PC card into the blue sockets on the front of the box. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
