Only a few cards allow it, all others need an NTBA or PBX with an internal bus to communicate with each other.

Both ISDN packages load the module isdn.o, otherwise the naming conventions are different. Tip: rename Urlichs isdn.o to uisdn.o, and change lib/modules/modules.isdn (or whatever the file is called that lists the modules and is read by the script) accordingly. Happily the default names of the ISDN devices are also different.</P> <HR> <A HREF="i4lfaq-29.html">Next</A> <A HREF="i4lfaq-27.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="i4lfaq.html#toc28">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
