## page was renamed from SupportingISDN
= ISDN BOF =

== Drivers ==
 * hisax (old-isdn, no-longer supported by upstream, ipppd, lots of work to configure it)
 * mISDN (new-kernel-isdn, easier to configure, use pppd)
 * CAPI-Drivers (non-free, supported by AVM, old ELA, easier to configure, use pppd)


== Warty ==

 * basicly no support
 * only hisax and mISDN drivers that sometimes conflict when being loaded
 * important packages not on the CD


== Hoary ==

 * put the needed packages (pppdcapiplugin, misdn-utils, isdnactivecards) on the cd (see ShipSeedProposals)
 * modify gnome-system-tools (mvo)
 * make a package for the CAPI drivers (need letter), put into linux-restricted-modules (doko)
 * kisdn: very nice isdn package(?) someone should look at this (mvo)
 * split out capi-utils isdnactivecards package (doko)
 * find out about what cards are supported by hisax and not by mISDN and only compile those HisaxButNotMISDN
    - provide a package with the needed support for older hisax hardware(?) 
    - don't build with the drivers that are not needed

== Problems ==

 * Faxing and ISDN: only hyla-fax supports it (sending/recv) and hyla-fax is not going into main
 * old hisax driver does not support hotplug/udev, unmaintained upstream
 * mISDN: after blacklisting hisax_fcpcipnp,hisax,hisax_isac,hisax_st5481
   mISDN seems to be only loaded only automatically when mISDN_capi is loaded
   before?
