That's not right: If you look closely, you will see that the ISDN code from the CVS archive (or the snapshots at ftp.suse.com) simply overwrites the kernel code. So you will loose all the work that has been done to get the ISDN stuff running on non-Intel platforms, especially the onboard ISDN of certain SparcStations.
I have pointed that out weeks ago on de.alt.comm.isdn4linux, which is gated to the ISDN4Linux mailing list with absolutely no reaction at all.
It seems to me that ISDN4Linux and the Kernel have drifted apart and will stay so. I am not sure what to do about this. My guess is that somebody in close contact both with the ISDN developers and Linus needs to take a week off and get the act together.
While we are at it: Anybody working on adding RFC1570 callback to Linux? Right now we can do "Q.something" callback (by D-channel signaling) and CBCP. But many companies run CISCO's for their secure communication (as mine does) and they won't work with this. I browsed the ISDN4Linux archive and all i found was "Nobody needs this anyway" which is not true.
I would take a shot at it, but my understanding of the ISDN code is very limited and i would hate to duplicate somebodies work already in progress.
Yours, Dominik Kubla
