LinuxPowered.com: Steps in making your Linux run…ISDN

Ok, you got your self an Internal ISDN card and you wish it
to work under linux… I must tell you this will be a nice journey,
it can be long also but the buttom line – It is working!

“What is the first step you must take when you wish to get your
card working? Or even when you are on the market shopping for a new
card? You most look at the HiSAX.readme to see if your card is
listed their as supported. If its not on the supported card list
(which is on our main ISDN page) don’t buy it or try to replace it.
Currently all the major ISDN manufactures got support for their
cards under the HiSAX driver.”

“HiSax is a Linux hardware-level driver for passive ISDN cards
with Siemens chipset (ISAC_S 2085/2086/2186, HSCX SAB 82525). It is
based on the Teles driver from Jan den Ouden. It is meant to be
used with isdn4linux, an ISDN link-level module for Linux written
by Fritz Elfert. The driver was written by Karsten Keil.”
