Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+However, if you wish to modify the HiSax sources, please note the following:
+
+HiSax has passed the ITU approval test suite with ELSA Quickstep ISDN cards
+and Eicon Technology Diva 2.01 PCI card.
+The certification is only valid for the combination of the tested software
+version and the tested hardware. Any changes to the HiSax source code may
+therefore affect the certification.
+
+Additional ITU approval tests have been carried out for all generic cards
+using Colognechip single chip solutions HFC-S PCI A for PCI cards as well
+as HFC-S USB based USB ISDN ta adapters.
+These tests included all layers 1-3 and as well all functional tests for 
+the layer 1. Because all hardware based on these chips are complete ISDN
+solutions in one chip all cards and USB-TAs using these chips are to be
+regarded as approved for those tests. Some additional electrical tests
+of the layer 1 which are independent of the driver and related to a
+special hardware used will be regarded as approved if at least one 
+solution has been tested including those electrical tests. So if cards 
+or tas have been completely approved for any other os, the approval
+for those electrical tests is valid for linux, too.
+Please send any questions regarding this drivers or approval abouts to

+Additional information and the type approval documents will be found

+
+If you change the main files of the HiSax ISDN stack, the certification will
+become invalid. Because in most countries it is illegal to connect
+unapproved ISDN equipment to the public network, I have to guarantee that
+changes in HiSax do not affect the certification.
+
+In order to make a valid certification apparent to the user, I have built in
+some validation checks that are made during the make process. The HiSax main
+files are protected by md5 checksums and the md5sum file is pgp signed by
+myself:

+Key fingerprint = 92 6B F7 58 EE 86 28 C8  C4 1A E6 DC 39 89 F2 AA
+
+Only if the checksums are OK, and the signature of the file
+"drivers/isdn/hisax/md5sums.asc" match, is the certification valid; a
+message confirming this is then displayed during the hisax init process.

+$Id: INTERFACE,v 1.15.8.2 2001/03/13 16:17:07 kai Exp $
+
+Description of the Interface between Linklevel and Hardwarelevel
+  of isdn4linux:
+
+
+  The Communication between Linklevel (LL) and Hardwarelevel (HL)
+  is based on the struct isdn_if (defined in isdnif.h).
+
+  An HL-driver can register itself at LL by calling the function
+  register_isdn() with a pointer to that struct. Prior to that, it has
+  to preset some of the fields of isdn_if. The LL sets the rest of
+  the fields. All further communication is done via callbacks using
+  the function-pointers defined in isdn_if.
+
+  Changes/Version numbering:
+
+  During development of the ISDN subsystem, several changes have been
+  made to the interface. Before it went into kernel, the package
+  had a unique version number. The last version, distributed separately
+  was 0.7.4. When the subsystem went into kernel, every functional unit
+  got a separate version number. These numbers are shown at initialization,
+  separated by slashes:
+
+     c.c/t.t/n.n/p.p/a.a/v.v
+
+  where
+
+   c.c is the revision of the common code.
+   t.t is the revision of the tty related code.
+   n.n is the revision of the network related code.
+   p.p is the revision of the ppp related code.
+   a.a is the revision of the audio related code.
+   v.v is the revision of the V.110 related code.
+
+  Changes in this document are marked with '***CHANGEx' where x representing
+  the version number. If that number starts with 0, it refers to the old,
+  separately distributed package. If it starts with one of the letters
+  above, it refers to the revision of the corresponding module. 
+  ***CHANGEIx refers to the revision number of the isdnif.h  
+
+1. Description of the fields of isdn_if:
+
+  int channels;
+
+    This field has to be set by the HL-driver to the number of channels
+    supported prior to calling register_isdn(). Upon return of the call,
+    the LL puts an id there, which has to be used by the HL-driver when
+    invoking the other callbacks.
+
+  int maxbufsize;
+
+    ***CHANGE0.6: New since this version.
+
+    Also to be preset by the HL-driver. With this value the HL-driver
+    tells the LL the maximum size of a data-packet it will accept. 
+
+  unsigned long features;
+
+    To be preset by the HL-driver. Using this field, the HL-driver
+    announces the features supported. At the moment this is limited to
+    report the supported layer2 and layer3-protocols. For setting this
+    field the constants ISDN_FEATURE..., declared in isdnif.h have to be
+    used.
+
+    ***CHANGE0.7.1: The line type (1TR6, EDSS1) has to be set.
+
+  unsigned short hl_hdrlen;
+
+    ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
+
+    To be preset by the HL-driver, if it supports sk_buff's. The driver
+    should put here the amount of additional space needed in sk_buff's for
+    its internal purposes. Drivers not supporting sk_buff's should 
+    initialize this field to 0.
+
+  void (*rcvcallb_skb)(int, int, struct sk_buff *)
+
+    ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
+
+    This field will be set by LL. The HL-driver delivers received data-
+    packets by calling this function. Upon calling, the HL-driver must
+    already have its private data pulled off the head of the sk_buff.
+
+    Parameter:
+      int              driver-Id
+      int              Channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+      struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff, containing received data.
+
+  int (*statcallb)(isdn_ctrl*);
+
+    This field will be set by LL. This function has to be called by the
+    HL-driver for signaling status-changes or other events to the LL.
+
+    Parameter:
+      isdn_ctrl*
+
+      The struct isdn_ctrl also defined in isdn_if. The exact meanings of its
+      fields are described together with the descriptions of the possible
+      events. Here is only a short description of the fields:
+
+        driver  = driver Id.
+        command = event-type. (one of the constants ISDN_STAT_...)
+        arg     = depends on event-type.
+        num     = depends on event-type.
+
+    Returnvalue:
+      0 on success, else -1
+
+  int (*command)(isdn_ctrl*);
+
+    This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. It points to a function,
+    to be called by LL to perform functions like dialing, B-channel
+    setup, etc. The exact meaning of the parameters is described with the
+    descriptions of the possible commands.
+
+    Parameter:
+      isdn_ctrl*
+        driver  = driver-Id
+        command = command to perform. (one of the constants ISDN_CMD_...)
+        arg     = depends on command.
+        num     = depends on command.
+    
+    Returnvalue:
+      >=0 on success, else error-code (-ENODEV etc.)
+
+  int (*writebuf_skb)(int, int, int, struct sk_buff *)
+
+    ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
+    ***CHANGEI.1.21: New field.
+
+    This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will
+    be called by the LL for delivering data to be send via B-Channel.
+
+ 
+    Parameter:
+      int              driver-Id ***CHANGE0.7.4: New parameter.
+      int              channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
+      int	       ack ***ChangeI1.21: New parameter
+		       If this is !0, the driver has to signal the delivery
+		       by sending an ISDN_STAT_BSENT. If this is 0, the driver
+		       MUST NOT send an ISDN_STAT_BSENT.
+      struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff containing data to be send via
+                       B-channel.
+
+    Returnvalue:
+      Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL on
+      oversized packets etc.)
+
+  int (*writecmd)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
+
+    This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
+    called to perform write-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. sending commands
+    to the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
+    intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
+    and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
+    this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
+
+    Parameter:
+      u_char* pointer to data.
+      int     length of data.
+      int     flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use
+                        memcpy, may NOT use schedule())
+                    1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
+                        memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
+      int     driver-Id.
+      int     channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
+
+***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
+
+    Returnvalue:
+      Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
+
+  int (*readstat)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
+
+    This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
+    called to perform read-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. reading replies
+    from the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
+    intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
+    and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
+    this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
+
+    Parameter:
+      u_char* pointer to data.
+      int     length of data.
+      int     flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use
+                        memcpy, may NOT use schedule())
+                    1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
+                        memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
+      int     driver-Id.
+      int     channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
+
+***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
+
+    Returnvalue:
+      Length of data on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
+
+  char id[20];
+       ***CHANGE0.7: New since this version.
+
+   This string has to be preset by the HL-driver. Its purpose is for
+   identification of the driver by the user. Eg.: it is shown in the
+   status-info of /dev/isdninfo. Furthermore it is used as Id for binding
+   net-interfaces to a specific channel. If a string of length zero is
+   given, upon return, isdn4linux will replace it by a generic name. (line0,
+   line1 etc.) It is recommended to make this string configurable during
+   module-load-time. (copy a global variable to this string.) For doing that,
+   modules 1.2.8 or newer are necessary.
+
+2. Description of the commands, a HL-driver has to support:
+
+   All commands will be performed by calling the function command() described
+   above from within the LL. The field command of the struct-parameter will
+   contain the desired command, the field driver is always set to the
+   appropriate driver-Id.
+
+   Until now, the following commands are defined:
+
+***CHANGEI1.34: The parameter "num" has been replaced by a union "parm" containing
+                the old "num" and a new setup_type struct used for ISDN_CMD_DIAL
+                and ISDN_STAT_ICALL callback.
+
+   ISDN_CMD_IOCTL:
+
+     This command is intended for performing ioctl-calls for configuring
+     hardware or similar purposes (setting port-addresses, loading firmware
+     etc.) For this purpose, in the LL all ioctl-calls with an argument
+     >= IIOCDRVCTL (0x100) will be handed transparently to this
+     function after subtracting 0x100 and placing the result in arg.
+     Example:
+       If a userlevel-program calls ioctl(0x101,...) the function gets
+       called with the field command set to 1.
+
+     Parameter:
+       driver   = driver-Id.
+       command  = ISDN_CMD_IOCTL
+       arg      = Original ioctl-cmd - IIOCDRVCTL
+       parm.num = first bytes filled with (unsigned long)arg
+   
+     Returnvalue:
+       Depending on driver.
+
+  
+  ISDN_CMD_DIAL:
+
+    This command is used to tell the HL-driver it should dial a given
+    number.
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id.
+      command     = ISDN_CMD_DIAL
+      arg         = channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+      
+      parm.setup.phone  = An ASCII-String containing the number to dial.
+      parm.setup.eazmsn = An ASCII-Sting containing the own EAZ or MSN.
+      parm.setup.si1    = The Service-Indicator.
+      parm.setup.si2    = Additional Service-Indicator.
+
+                    If the Line has been designed as SPV (a special german
+                    feature, meaning semi-leased-line) the phone has to
+                    start with an "S".
+      ***CHANGE0.6: In previous versions the EAZ has been given in the
+                    highbyte of arg.
+    ***CHANGE0.7.1: New since this version: ServiceIndicator and AddInfo.
+
+  ISDN_CMD_ACCEPTD:
+
+    With this command, the HL-driver is told to accept a D-Channel-setup.
+    (Response to an incoming call)
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id.
+      command     = ISDN_CMD_ACCEPTD
+      arg         = channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+      parm        = unused.
+
+  ISDN_CMD_ACCEPTB:
+
+    With this command, the HL-driver is told to perform a B-Channel-setup.
+    (after establishing D-Channel-Connection)
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id.
+      command     = ISDN_CMD_ACCEPTB
+      arg         = channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+      parm        = unused.
+
+  ISDN_CMD_HANGUP:
+
+    With this command, the HL-driver is told to hangup (B-Channel if
+    established first, then D-Channel). This command is also used for
+    actively rejecting an incoming call.
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id.
+      command     = ISDN_CMD_HANGUP
+      arg         = channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+      parm        = unused.
+
+  ISDN_CMD_CLREAZ:
+
+    With this command, the HL-driver is told not to signal incoming
+    calls to the LL.
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id.
+      command     = ISDN_CMD_CLREAZ
+      arg         = channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+      parm        = unused.
+
+  ISDN_CMD_SETEAZ:
+
+    With this command, the HL-driver is told to signal incoming calls for
+    the given EAZs/MSNs to the LL.
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id.

+3. Description of the events to be signaled by the HL-driver to the LL.
+
+  All status-changes are signaled via calling the previously described
+  function statcallb(). The field command of the struct isdn_cmd has
+  to be set by the HL-driver with the appropriate Status-Id (event-number).
+  The field arg has to be set to the channel-number (locally to the driver,
+  starting with 0) to which this event applies. (Exception: STAVAIL-event)
+
+  Until now, the following Status-Ids are defined:
+

+                    Used for signalling with PtP connections.
+      4	          = Call will be held in a proceeding state 
+                    (HL driver sends PROCEEDING)
+                    Used when a user space prog needs time to interpret a call
+		    para.setup.eazmsn may be filled with an uus1 message of
+		    30 octets maximum. Empty string if no uus. 
+      5           = Call will be actively deflected to another party

+      parm        = unused.
+
+  ISDN_STAT_ADDCH: 
+
+    This call is for HL-drivers, which are unable to check card-type
+    or numbers of supported channels before they have loaded any firmware
+    using ioctl. Those HL-driver simply set the channel-parameter to a
+    minimum channel-number when registering, and later if they know
+    the real amount, perform this call, allocating additional channels.
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id

+
+    With this call, the HL-driver delivers CAUSE-messages to the LL.
+    Currently the LL does not use this messages. Their contents is simply
+    logged via kernel-messages. Therefore, currently the format of the
+    messages is completely free. However they should be printable.
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id
+      command     = ISDN_STAT_NODCH
+      arg         = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)

+      
+      para        = protocol and function specific. See isdnif.h for detail.
+
+  ISDN_STAT_DISCH:
+
+    With this call, the HL-driver signals the LL to disable or enable the
+    use of supplied channel and driver.
+    The call may be used to reduce the available number of B-channels after
+    loading the driver. The LL has to ignore a disabled channel when searching
+    for free channels. The HL driver itself never delivers STAT callbacks for
+    disabled channels. 	    
+    The LL returns a nonzero code if the operation was not successful or the
+    selected channel is actually regarded as busy.
+
+    Parameter:
+      driver      = driver-Id
+      command     = ISDN_STAT_DISCH
+      arg         = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)

+
+    Parameter:

+
+
+Description of the fax-subinterface between linklevel and hardwarelevel of 
+  isdn4linux. 
+
+  The communication between linklevel (LL) and hardwarelevel (HL) for fax
+  is based on the struct T30_s (defined in isdnif.h).
+  This struct is allocated in the LL.  
+  In order to use fax, the LL provides the pointer to this struct with the 
+  command ISDN_CMD_SETL3 (parm.fax). This pointer expires in case of hangup 
+  and when a new channel to a new connection is assigned. 
+
+
+Data handling:
+  In send-mode the HL-driver has to handle the <DLE> codes and the bit-order 
+  conversion by itself. 
+  In receive-mode the LL-driver takes care of the bit-order conversion
+  (specified by +FBOR)
+
+Structure T30_s description:
+
+  This structure stores the values (set by AT-commands), the remote-
+  capability-values and the command-codes between LL and HL.
+
+  If the HL-driver receives ISDN_CMD_FAXCMD, all needed information
+  is in this struct set by the LL.
+  To signal information to the LL, the HL-driver has to set the 
+  the parameters and use ISDN_STAT_FAXIND.
+  (Please refer to INTERFACE)
+

+

+  Defines the actual state of fax connection. Set by HL or LL
+  depending on progress and type of connection.
+  If the phase changes because of an AT command, the LL driver
+  changes this value. Otherwise the HL-driver takes care of it, but
+  only necessary on call establishment (from IDLE to PHASE_A).
+  (one of the constants ISDN_FAX_PHASE_[IDLE,A,B,C,D,E])

+README for the ISDN-subsystem
+
+1. Preface
+
+  1.1 Introduction
+
+  This README describes how to set up and how to use the different parts
+  of the ISDN-subsystem.
+
+  For using the ISDN-subsystem, some additional userlevel programs are
+  necessary. Those programs and some contributed utilities are available
+  at
+
+   ftp.isdn4linux.de
+
+   /pub/isdn4linux/isdn4k-utils-<VersionNumber>.tar.gz
+
+
+  We also have set up a mailing-list:
+
+   The isdn4linux-project originates in Germany, and therefore by historical
+   reasons, the mailing-list's primary language is german. However mails
+   written in english have been welcome all the time.
+
+   to subscribe: write a email to majordomo@listserv.isdn4linux.de,
+   Subject irrelevant, in the message body:
+   subscribe isdn4linux <your_email_address>
+
+   To write to the mailing-list, write to isdn4linux@listserv.isdn4linux.de
+
+   This mailinglist is bidirectionally gated to the newsgroup
+
+     de.alt.comm.isdn4linux
+
+  There is also a well maintained FAQ in English available at
+     http://www.mhessler.de/i4lfaq/
+  It can be viewed online, or downloaded in sgml/text/html format.
+  The FAQ can also be viewed online at
+     http://www.isdn4inux.de/faq/
+  or downloaded from
+     ftp://ftp.isdn4linux.de/pub/isdn4linux/FAQ/
+
+  1.1 Technical details
+
+  In the following Text, the terms MSN and EAZ are used.
+
+  MSN is the abbreviation for (M)ultiple(S)ubscriber(N)umber, and applies
+  to Euro(EDSS1)-type lines. Usually it is simply the phone number.
+
+  EAZ is the abbreviation of (E)ndgeraete(A)uswahl(Z)iffer and
+  applies to German 1TR6-type lines. This is a one-digit string,
+  simply appended to the base phone number
+
+  The internal handling is nearly identical, so replace the appropriate
+  term to that one, which applies to your local ISDN-environment.
+
+  When the link-level-module isdn.o is loaded, it supports up to 16
+  low-level-modules with up to 64 channels. (The number 64 is arbitrarily
+  chosen and can be configured at compile-time --ISDN_MAX in isdn.h).
+  A low-level-driver can register itself through an interface (which is
+  defined in isdnif.h) and gets assigned a slot.
+  The following char-devices are made available for each channel:
+
+  A raw-control-device with the following functions:
+     write: raw D-channel-messages (format: depends on driver).
+     read:  raw D-channel-messages (format: depends on driver).
+     ioctl: depends on driver, i.e. for the ICN-driver, the base-address of
+            the ports and the shared memory on the card can be set and read
+            also the boot-code and the protocol software can be loaded into
+            the card.
+
+   O N L Y !!!  for debugging (no locking against other devices):
+   One raw-data-device with the following functions:
+     write: data to B-channel.
+     read:  data from B-channel.
+
+   In addition the following devices are made available:
+
+   128 tty-devices (64 cuix and 64 ttyIx) with integrated modem-emulator:
+   The functionality is almost the same as that of a serial device
+   (the line-discs are handled by the kernel), which lets you run
+   SLIP, CSLIP and asynchronous PPP through the devices. We have tested
+   Seyon, minicom, CSLIP (uri-dip) PPP, mgetty, XCept and Hylafax. 
+
+   The modem-emulation supports the following:
+           1.3.1 Commands:
+
+               ATA      Answer incoming call.
+               ATD<No.> Dial, the number may contain:
+                        [0-9] and [,#.*WPT-S]
+                        the latter are ignored until 'S'.
+                        The 'S' must precede the number, if
+                        the line is a SPV (German 1TR6).
+               ATE0     Echo off.
+               ATE1     Echo on (default).
+               ATH      Hang-up.
+               ATH1     Off hook (ignored).
+               ATH0     Hang-up.
+               ATI      Return "ISDN for Linux...".
+               ATI0        "
+               ATI1        "
+               ATI2     Report of last connection.
+               ATO      On line (data mode).
+               ATQ0     Enable result codes (default).
+               ATQ1     Disable result codes (default).
+               ATSx=y   Set register x to y.
+               ATSx?    Show contents of register x.
+               ATV0     Numeric responses.
+               ATV1     English responses (default).
+               ATZ      Load registers and EAZ/MSN from Profile.
+               AT&Bx    Set Send-Packet-size to x (max. 4000)
+                        The real packet-size may be limited by the
+                        low-level-driver used. e.g. the HiSax-Module-
+                        limit is 2000. You will get NO Error-Message,
+                        if you set it to higher values, because at the
+                        time of giving this command the corresponding
+                        driver may not be selected (see "Automatic
+                        Assignment") however the size of outgoing packets
+                        will be limited correctly.
+               AT&D0    Ignore DTR
+               AT&D2    DTR-low-edge: Hang up and return to
+                        command mode (default).
+               AT&D3    Same as AT&D2 but also resets all registers.
+               AT&Ex    Set the EAZ/MSN for this channel to x.
+               AT&F     Reset all registers and profile to "factory-defaults"
+               AT&Lx    Set list of phone numbers to listen on.  x is a
+                        list of wildcard patterns separated by semicolon.
+                        If this is set, it has precedence over the MSN set
+                        by AT&E.
+               AT&Rx    Select V.110 bitrate adaption.
+                        This command enables V.110 protocol with 9600 baud
+                        (x=9600), 19200 baud (x=19200) or 38400 baud
+                        (x=38400). A value of x=0 disables V.110 switching
+                        back to default X.75. This command sets the following
+                        Registers:
+                          Reg 14 (Layer-2 protocol):
+                            x = 0:     0
+                            x = 9600:  7
+                            x = 19200: 8
+                            x = 38400: 9
+                          Reg 18.2 = 1
+                          Reg 19 (Additional Service Indicator):
+                            x = 0:       0
+                            x = 9600:  197
+                            x = 19200: 199
+                            x = 38400: 198
+                          Note on value in Reg 19:
+                            There is _NO_ common convention for 38400 baud.
+                            The value 198 is chosen arbitrarily. Users
+                            _MUST_ negotiate this value before establishing
+                            a connection.
+               AT&Sx    Set window-size (x = 1..8) (not yet implemented)
+               AT&V     Show all settings.
+               AT&W0    Write registers and EAZ/MSN to profile. See also
+                        iprofd (5.c in this README).
+               AT&X0    BTX-mode and T.70-mode off (default)
+               AT&X1    BTX-mode on. (S13.1=1, S13.5=0 S14=0, S16=7, S18=7, S19=0)
+               AT&X2    T.70-mode on. (S13.1=1, S13.5=1, S14=0, S16=7, S18=7, S19=0)
+               AT+Rx    Resume a suspended call with CallID x (x = 1,2,3...)
+               AT+Sx    Suspend a call with CallID x (x = 1,2,3...)
+

+
+           1.3.2 Escape sequence:
+               During a connection, the emulation reacts just like
+               a normal modem to the escape sequence <DELAY>+++<DELAY>.
+               (The escape character - default '+' - can be set in the
+               register 2).
+               The DELAY must at least be 1.5 seconds long and delay
+               between the escape characters must not exceed 0.5 seconds.
+
+           1.3.3 Registers:
+
+              Nr.  Default  Description
+              0    0        Answer on ring number.

+              1    0        Count of rings.
+              2    43       Escape character.
+                            (a value >= 128 disables the escape sequence).

+                                  bit. In this case, on incoming calls
+                                  the selected services are accepted,
+                                  and if the service is "audio", the

+                                      1 = Add CDN to RING/FCON message on
+
+  Last but not least a (at the moment fairly primitive) device to request
+  the line-status (/dev/isdninfo) is made available.
+
+  Automatic assignment of devices to lines:
+
+  All inactive physical lines are listening to all EAZs for incoming
+  calls and are NOT assigned to a specific tty or network interface.
+  When an incoming call is detected, the driver looks first for a network
+  interface and then for an opened tty which:
+
+  1. is configured for the same EAZ.
+  2. has the same protocol settings for the B-channel.
+  3. (only for network interfaces if the security flag is set)
+     contains the caller number in its access list.
+  4. Either the channel is not bound exclusively to another Net-interface, or
+     it is bound AND the other checks apply to exactly this interface.
+     (For usage of the bind-features, refer to the isdnctrl-man-page)
+
+  Only when a matching interface or tty is found is the call accepted
+  and the "connection" between the low-level-layer and the link-level-layer
+  is established and kept until the end of the connection.
+  In all other cases no connection is established. Isdn4linux can be
+  configured to either do NOTHING in this case (which is useful, if
+  other, external devices with the same EAZ/MSN are connected to the bus)
+  or to reject the call actively. (isdnctrl busreject ...)
+
+  For an outgoing call, the inactive physical lines are searched.
+  The call is placed on the first physical line, which supports the
+  requested protocols for the B-channel. If a net-interface, however
+  is pre-bound to a channel, this channel is used directly.
+
+  This makes it possible to configure several network interfaces and ttys
+  for one EAZ, if the network interfaces are set to secure operation.
+  If an incoming call matches one network interface, it gets connected to it.
+  If another incoming call for the same EAZ arrives, which does not match
+  a network interface, the first tty gets a "RING" and so on.
+
+2 System prerequisites:
+
+  ATTENTION!
+
+  Always use the latest module utilities. The current version is
+  named in Documentation/Changes. Some old versions of insmod
+  are not capable of setting the driver-Ids correctly.
+
+3. Lowlevel-driver configuration.
+
+   Configuration depends on how the drivers are built. See the
+   README.<yourDriver> for information on driver-specific setup.
+
+4. Device-inodes
+
+   The major and minor numbers and their names are described in
+   Documentation/devices.txt. The major numbers are:
+
+     43 for the ISDN-tty's.
+     44 for the ISDN-callout-tty's.
+     45 for control/info/debug devices.
+
+5. Application
+
+   a) For some card-types, firmware has to be loaded into the cards, before
+      proceeding with device-independent setup. See README.<yourDriver>
+      for how to do that.
+
+   b) If you only intend to use ttys, you are nearly ready now.
+
+   c) If you want to have really permanent "Modem"-settings on disk, you
+      can start the daemon iprofd. Give it a path to a file at the command-
+      line. It will store the profile-settings in this file every time
+      an AT&W0 is performed on any ISDN-tty. If the file already exists,
+      all profiles are initialized from this file. If you want to unload
+      any of the modules, kill iprofd first.
+
+   d) For networking, continue: Create an interface:
+       isdnctrl addif isdn0
+
+   e) Set the EAZ (or MSN for Euro-ISDN):
+       isdnctrl eaz isdn0 2
+
+     (For 1TR6 a single digit is allowed, for Euro-ISDN the number is your
+      real MSN e.g.: Phone-Number)
+
+   f) Set the number for outgoing calls on the interface:
+       isdnctrl addphone isdn0 out 1234567
+       ... (this can be executed more than once, all assigned numbers are
+            tried in order)
+      and the number(s) for incoming calls:
+       isdnctrl addphone isdn0 in 1234567
+
+   g) Set the timeout for hang-up:
+       isdnctrl huptimeout isdn0 <timeout_in_seconds>
+
+   h) additionally you may activate charge-hang-up (= Hang up before
+      next charge-info, this only works, if your isdn-provider transmits
+      the charge-info during and after the connection):
+       isdnctrl chargehup isdn0 on
+
+   i) Set the dial mode of the interface:
+       isdnctrl dialmode isdn0 auto
+      "off" means that you (or the system) cannot make any connection
+        (neither incoming or outgoing connections are possible). Use
+        this if you want to be sure that no connections will be made.
+      "auto" means that the interface is in auto-dial mode, and will
+        attempt to make a connection whenever a network data packet needs
+        the interface's link. Note that this can cause unexpected dialouts,
+        and lead to a high phone bill! Some daemons or other pc's that use
+        this interface can cause this.
+        Incoming connections are also possible.
+      "manual" is a dial mode created to prevent the unexpected dialouts.
+        In this mode, the interface will never make any connections on its
+        own. You must explicitly initiate a connection with "isdnctrl dial
+        isdn0". However, after an idle time of no traffic as configured for
+	the huptimeout value with isdnctrl, the connection _will_ be ended.
+	If you don't want any automatic hangup, set the huptimeout value to 0.
+        "manual" is the default.
+
+   j) Setup the interface with ifconfig as usual, and set a route to it.
+
+   k) (optional) If you run X11 and have Tcl/Tk-wish version 4.0, you can use
+     the script tools/tcltk/isdnmon. You can add actions for line-status
+     changes. See the comments at the beginning of the script for how to
+     do that. There are other tty-based tools in the tools-subdirectory
+     contributed by Michael Knigge (imon), Volker Götz (imontty) and
+     Andreas Kool (isdnmon).
+
+   l) For initial testing, you can set the verbose-level to 2 (default: 0).
+      Then all incoming calls are logged, even if they are not addressed
+      to one of the configured net-interfaces:
+      isdnctrl verbose 2
+
+  Now you are ready! A ping to the set address should now result in an
+  automatic dial-out (look at syslog kernel-messages).
+  The phone numbers and EAZs can be assigned at any time with isdnctrl.
+  You can add as many interfaces as you like with addif following the
+  directions above. Of course, there may be some limitations. But we have
+  tested as many as 20 interfaces without any problem. However, if you
+  don't give an interface name to addif, the  kernel will assign a name
+  which starts with "eth". The number of "eth"-interfaces is limited by
+  the kernel.
+
+5. Additional options for isdnctrl:
+
+   "isdnctrl secure <InterfaceName> on"
+   Only incoming calls, for which the caller-id is listed in the access
+   list of the interface are accepted. You can add caller-id's With the
+   command "isdnctrl addphone <InterfaceName> in <caller-id>"
+   Euro-ISDN does not transmit the leading '0' of the caller-id for an
+   incoming call, therefore you should configure it accordingly.
+   If the real number for the dialout e.g. is "09311234567" the number
+   to configure here is "9311234567". The pattern-match function
+   works similar to the shell mechanism.
+
+     ?     one arbitrary digit
+     *     zero or arbitrary many digits
+     [123] one of the digits in the list
+     [1-5] one digit between '1' and '5'
+           a '^' as the first character in a list inverts the list
+
+
+   "isdnctrl secure <InterfaceName> off"
+   Switch off secure operation (default).
+
+   "isdnctrl ihup <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
+   Switch the hang-up-timer for incoming calls on or off.
+
+   "isdnctrl eaz <InterfaceName>"
+   Returns the EAZ of an interface.
+
+   "isdnctrl delphone <InterfaceName> in|out <number>"
+   Deletes a number from one of the access-lists of the interface.
+
+   "isdnctrl delif <InterfaceName>"
+   Removes the interface (and possible slaves) from the kernel.
+   (You have to unregister it with "ifconfig <InterfaceName> down" before).
+
+   "isdnctrl callback <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
+   Switches an interface to callback-mode. In this mode, an incoming call
+   will be rejected and after this the remote-station will be called. If
+   you test this feature by using ping, some routers will re-dial very
+   quickly, so that the callback from isdn4linux may not be recognized.
+   In this case use ping with the option -i <sec> to increase the interval
+   between echo-packets.
+
+   "isdnctrl cbdelay <InterfaceName> [seconds]"
+   Sets the delay (default 5 sec) between an incoming call and start of
+   dialing when callback is enabled.
+
+   "isdnctrl cbhup <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
+   This enables (default) or disables an active hangup (reject) when getting an
+   incoming call for an interface which is configured for callback.
+
+   "isdnctrl encap <InterfaceName> <EncapType>"
+   Selects the type of packet-encapsulation. The encapsulation can be changed
+   only while an interface is down.
+
+   At the moment the following values are supported:
+
+   rawip    (Default) Selects raw-IP-encapsulation. This means, MAC-headers
+            are stripped off.
+   ip       IP with type-field. Same as IP but the type-field of the MAC-header
+            is preserved.
+   x25iface X.25 interface encapsulation (first byte semantics as defined in
+            ../networking/x25-iface.txt). Use this for running the linux
+            X.25 network protocol stack (AF_X25 sockets) on top of isdn.
+   cisco-h  A special-mode for communicating with a Cisco, which is configured
+            to do "hdlc"
+   ethernet No stripping. Packets are sent with full MAC-header.
+            The Ethernet-address of the interface is faked, from its
+            IP-address: fc:fc:i1:i2:i3:i4, where i1-4 are the IP-addr.-values.
+   syncppp  Synchronous PPP
+
+   uihdlc   HDLC with UI-frame-header (for use with DOS ISPA, option -h1)
+
+
+   NOTE:    x25iface encapsulation is currently experimental. Please
+            read README.x25 for further details
+
+
+   Watching packets, using standard-tcpdump will fail for all encapsulations
+   except ethernet because tcpdump does not know how to handle packets
+   without MAC-header. A patch for tcpdump is included in the utility-package
+   mentioned above.
+
+   "isdnctrl l2_prot <InterfaceName> <L2-ProtocolName>"
+   Selects a layer-2-protocol.
+   (With the ICN-driver and the HiSax-driver, "x75i" and "hdlc" is available.
+   With other drivers, "x75ui", "x75bui", "x25dte", "x25dce" may be
+   possible too. See README.x25 for x25 related l2 protocols.)
+
+   isdnctrl l3_prot <InterfaceName> <L3-ProtocolName>
+   The same for layer-3. (At the moment only "trans" is allowed)
+
+   "isdnctrl list <InterfaceName>"
+   Shows all parameters of an interface and the charge-info.
+   Try "all" as the interface name.
+
+   "isdnctrl hangup <InterfaceName>"
+   Forces hangup of an interface.
+
+   "isdnctrl bind <InterfaceName> <DriverId>,<ChannelNumber> [exclusive]"
+   If you are using more than one ISDN card, it is sometimes necessary to
+   dial out using a specific card or even preserve a specific channel for
+   dialout of a specific net-interface. This can be done with the above
+   command. Replace <DriverId> by whatever you assigned while loading the
+   module. The <ChannelNumber> is counted from zero. The upper limit
+   depends on the card used. At the moment no card supports more than
+   2 channels, so the upper limit is one.
+
+   "isdnctrl unbind <InterfaceName>"
+   unbinds a previously bound interface.
+
+   "isdnctrl busreject <DriverId> on|off"
+   If switched on, isdn4linux replies a REJECT to incoming calls, it
+   cannot match to any configured interface.
+   If switched off, nothing happens in this case.
+   You normally should NOT enable this feature, if the ISDN adapter is not
+   the only device connected to the S0-bus. Otherwise it could happen that
+   isdn4linux rejects an incoming call, which belongs to another device on
+   the bus.
+
+   "isdnctrl addslave <InterfaceName> <SlaveName>
+   Creates a slave interface for channel-bundling. Slave interfaces are
+   not seen by the kernel, but their ISDN-part can be configured with
+   isdnctrl as usual. (Phone numbers, EAZ/MSN, timeouts etc.) If more
+   than two channels are to be bundled, feel free to create as many as you
+   want. InterfaceName must be a real interface, NOT a slave. Slave interfaces
+   start dialing, if the master interface resp. the previous slave interface
+   has a load of more than 7000 cps. They hangup if the load goes under 7000
+   cps, according to their "huptimeout"-parameter.
+
+   "isdnctrl sdelay <InterfaceName> secs."
+   This sets the minimum time an Interface has to be fully loaded, until
+   it sends a dial-request to its slave.
+
+   "isdnctrl dial <InterfaceName>"
+   Forces an interface to start dialing even if no packets are to be
+   transferred.
+
+   "isdnctrl mapping <DriverId> MSN0,MSN1,MSN2,...MSN9"
+   This installs a mapping table for EAZ<->MSN-mapping for a single line.
+   Missing MSN's have to be given as "-" or can be omitted, if at the end
+   of the commandline.
+   With this command, it's now possible to have an interface listening to
+   mixed 1TR6- and Euro-Type lines. In this case, the interface has to be
+   configured to a 1TR6-type EAZ (one digit). The mapping is also valid
+   for tty-emulation. Seen from the interface/tty-level the mapping
+   CAN be used, however it's possible to use single tty's/interfaces with
+   real MSN's (more digits) also, in which case the mapping will be ignored.
+   Here is an example:
+
+   You have a 1TR6-type line with base-nr. 1234567 and a Euro-line with
+   MSN's 987654, 987655 and 987656. The DriverId for the Euro-line is "EURO".
+
+   isdnctrl mapping EURO -,987654,987655,987656,-,987655
+   ...
+   isdnctrl eaz isdn0 1      # listen on 12345671(1tr6) and 987654(euro)
+   ...
+   isdnctrl eaz isdn1 4      # listen on 12345674(1tr6) only.
+   ...
+   isdnctrl eaz isdn2 987654 # listen on 987654(euro) only.
+
+   Same scheme is used with AT&E...  at the tty's.
+
+6. If you want to write a new low-level-driver, you are welcome.
+   The interface to the link-level-module is described in the file INTERFACE.
+   If the interface should be expanded for any reason, don't do it
+   on your own, send me a mail containing the proposed changes and
+   some reasoning about them.
+   If other drivers will not be affected, I will include the changes
+   in the next release.
+   For developers only, there is a second mailing-list. Write to me
+   (fritz@isdn4linux.de), if you want to join that list.
+
+Have fun!

+(io, mem, irq).
+
+
+Configuring the driver
+----------------------
+
+The HiSax driver can either be built directly into the kernel or as a module.
+It can be configured using the command line feature while loading the kernel
+with LILO or LOADLIN or, if built as a module, using insmod/modprobe with
+parameters.
+There is also some config needed before you compile the kernel and/or
+modules. It is included in the normal "make [menu]config" target at the
+kernel. Don't forget it, especially to select the right D-channel protocol.
+
+Please note: In older versions of the HiSax driver, all PnP cards
+needed to be configured with isapnp and worked only with the HiSax
+driver used as a module.
+
+In the current version, HiSax will automatically use the in-kernel
+ISAPnP support, provided you selected it during kernel configuration
+(CONFIG_ISAPNP), if you don't give the io=, irq= command line parameters.
+
+The affected card types are: 4,7,12,14,19,27-30
+
+a) when built as a module
+-------------------------
+
+insmod/modprobe  hisax.o \
+  io=iobase irq=IRQ mem=membase type=card_type \
+  protocol=D_channel_protocol id=idstring
+
+or, if several cards are installed:
+
+insmod/modprobe hisax.o \
+  io=iobase1,iobase2,... irq=IRQ1,IRQ2,... mem=membase1,membase2,... \
+  type=card_type1,card_type2,... \
+  protocol=D_channel_protocol1,D_channel_protocol2,... \
+  id=idstring1%idstring2 ...
+
+where "iobaseN" represents the I/O base address of the Nth card, "membaseN"
+the memory base address of the Nth card, etc.
+
+The reason for the delimiter "%" being used in the idstrings is that ","
+won't work with the current modules package.
+
+The parameters may be specified in any order. For example, the "io"
+parameter may precede the "irq" parameter, or vice versa. If several
+cards are installed, the ordering within the comma separated parameter
+lists must of course be consistent.
+
+Only parameters applicable to the card type need to be specified. For
+example, the Teles 16.3 card is not memory-mapped, so the "mem"
+parameter may be omitted for this card. Sometimes it may be necessary
+to specify a dummy parameter, however. This is the case when there is
+a card of a different type later in the list that needs a parameter
+which the preceding card does not. For instance, if a Teles 16.0 card
+is listed after a Teles 16.3 card, a dummy memory base parameter of 0
+must be specified for the 16.3. Instead of a dummy value, the parameter
+can also be skipped by simply omitting the value. For example:
+mem=,0xd0000. See example 6 below.
+
+The parameter for the D-Channel protocol may be omitted if you selected the
+correct one during kernel config. Valid values are "1" for German 1TR6,
+"2" for EDSS1 (Euro ISDN), "3" for leased lines (no D-Channel) and "4"
+for US NI1.
+With US NI1 you have to include your SPID into the MSN setting in the form
+<MSN>:<SPID> for example (your phonenumber is 1234 your SPID 5678):
+AT&E1234:5678                       on ttyI interfaces
+isdnctrl eaz ippp0 1234:5678        on network devices
+
+The Creatix/Teles PnP cards use io1= and io2= instead of io= for specifying
+the I/O addresses of the ISAC and HSCX chips, respectively.

+1. Teles 16.3, Euro ISDN, I/O base 280 hex, IRQ 10
+   modprobe hisax type=3 protocol=2 io=0x280 irq=10
+
+2. Teles 16.0, 1TR6 ISDN, I/O base d80 hex, IRQ 5, Memory d0000 hex
+   modprobe hisax protocol=1 type=1 io=0xd80 mem=0xd0000 irq=5
+
+3. Fritzcard, Euro ISDN, I/O base 340 hex, IRQ 10 and ELSA PCF, Euro ISDN
+   modprobe hisax type=5,6 protocol=2,2 io=0x340 irq=10 id=Fritz%Elsa
+
+4. Any ELSA PCC/PCF card, Euro ISDN
+   modprobe hisax type=6 protocol=2
+
+5. Teles 16.3 PnP, Euro ISDN, with isapnp configured
+   isapnp config:  (INT 0 (IRQ 10 (MODE +E)))
+ 		   (IO 0 (BASE 0x0580))

+   modprobe hisax type=4 protocol=2 irq=10 io0=0x580 io1=0x180
+
+   In the current version of HiSax, you can instead simply use
+
+   modprobe hisax type=4 protocol=2
+
+   if you configured your kernel for ISAPnP. Don't run isapnp in
+   this case!

+   Teles 16.0, 1TR6, IRQ 5, Memory d0000 hex
+   modprobe hisax type=3,1 protocol=2,1 io=0x280 mem=0,0xd0000
+
+   Please note the dummy 0 memory address for the Teles 16.3, used as a

+Running the driver
+------------------
+
+When you insmod isdn.o and hisax.o (or with the in-kernel version, during
+boot time), a few lines should appear in your syslog. Look for something like:
+
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Driver for Siemens chip set ISDN cards
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Version 2.9
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Revisions 1.14/1.9/1.10/1.25/1.8
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Total 1 card defined
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Card 1 Protocol EDSS1 Id=HiSax1 (0)
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: Elsa driver Rev. 1.13
+...
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: PCF-Pro found at 0x360 Rev.:C IRQ 10
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: timer OK; resetting card
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: HSCX version A: V2.1  B: V2.1
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: Elsa: ISAC 2086/2186 V1.1
+...
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: DSS1 Rev. 1.14
+Apr 13 21:01:59 kke01 kernel: HiSax: 2 channels added
+
+This means that the card is ready for use.
+Cabling problems or line-downs are not detected, and only some ELSA cards can
+detect the S0 power.
+
+Remember that, according to the new strategy for accessing low-level drivers
+from within isdn4linux, you should also define a driver ID while doing
+insmod: Simply append hisax_id=<SomeString> to the insmod command line. This
+string MUST NOT start with a digit or a small 'x'!
+
+At this point you can run a 'cat /dev/isdnctrl0' and view debugging messages.
+
+At the moment, debugging messages are enabled with the hisaxctrl tool:
+
+    hisaxctrl <DriverId> DebugCmd <debugging_flags>
+
+<DriverId> default is HiSax, if you didn't specify one.
+
+DebugCmd is  1  for generic debugging
+            11  for layer 1 development debugging
+            13  for layer 3 development debugging
+
+where <debugging_flags> is the integer sum of the following debugging
+options you wish enabled:
+
+With DebugCmd set to 1:
+
+   0x0001  Link-level <--> hardware-level communication
+   0x0002  Top state machine
+   0x0004  D-Channel Frames for isdnlog
+   0x0008  D-Channel Q.921
+   0x0010  B-Channel X.75
+   0x0020  D-Channel l2
+   0x0040  B-Channel l2
+   0x0080  D-Channel link state debugging
+   0x0100  B-Channel link state debugging
+   0x0200  TEI debug
+   0x0400  LOCK debug in callc.c
+   0x0800  More paranoid debug in callc.c (not for normal use)
+   0x1000  D-Channel l1 state debugging
+   0x2000  B-Channel l1 state debugging
+
+With DebugCmd set to 11:
+
+   0x0001  Warnings (default: on)
+   0x0002  IRQ status
+   0x0004  ISAC
+   0x0008  ISAC FIFO
+   0x0010  HSCX
+   0x0020  HSCX FIFO (attention: full B-Channel output!)
+   0x0040  D-Channel LAPD frame types
+   0x0080  IPAC debug
+   0x0100  HFC receive debug
+   0x0200  ISAC monitor debug
+   0x0400  D-Channel frames for isdnlog (set with 1 0x4 too)
+   0x0800  D-Channel message verbose
+
+With DebugCmd set to 13:
+
+         1  Warnings (default: on)
+         2  l3 protocol descriptor errors
+         4  l3 state machine
+         8  charge info debugging (1TR6)
+
+For example, 'hisaxctrl HiSax 1 0x3ff' enables full generic debugging.
+
+Because of some obscure problems with some switch equipment, the delay
+between the CONNECT message and sending the first data on the B-channel is now
+configurable with
+
+hisaxctrl <DriverId> 2 <delay>
+<delay> in ms Value between 50 and 800 ms is recommended.
+
+Downloading Firmware
+--------------------
+At the moment, the Sedlbauer speed fax+ is the only card, which
+needs to download firmware.
+The firmware is downloaded with the hisaxctrl tool:
+
+    hisaxctrl <DriverId> 9 <firmware_filename>
+
+<DriverId> default is HiSax, if you didn't specify one,
+
+where <firmware_filename> is the filename of the firmware file.
+
+For example, 'hisaxctrl HiSax 9 ISAR.BIN' downloads the firmware for
+ISAR based cards (like the Sedlbauer speed fax+).
+
+Warning
+-------
+HiSax is a work in progress and may crash your machine.
+For certification look at HiSax.cert file.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+At this time, HiSax only works on Euro ISDN lines and German 1TR6 lines.
+For leased lines see appendix.
+
+Bugs

+If you find any, please let me know.

+Appendix: Linux and ISDN-leased lines
+-------------------------------------
+
+Original from Juergen Quade, new version KKe.
+
+Attention NEW VERSION, the old leased line syntax won't work !!!
+
+You can use HiSax to connect your Linux-Box via an ISDN leased line
+to e.g. the Internet:
+
+1. Build a kernel which includes the HiSax driver either as a module
+   or as part of the kernel.
+     cd /usr/src/linux
+     make menuconfig
+     <ISDN subsystem - ISDN support -- HiSax>
+     make clean; make zImage; make modules; make modules_install
+2. Install the new kernel
+     cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /etc/kernel/linux.isdn
+     vi /etc/lilo.conf
+     <add new kernel in the bootable image section>
+     lilo
+3. in case the hisax driver is a "fixed" part of the kernel, configure
+   the driver with lilo:
+     vi /etc/lilo.conf
+     <add HiSax driver parameter in the global section (see below)>
+     lilo
+   Your lilo.conf _might_ look like the following:
+
+	# LILO configuration-file
+	# global section
+    # teles 16.0 on IRQ=5, MEM=0xd8000, PORT=0xd80
+	append="hisax=1,3,5,0xd8000,0xd80,HiSax"
+    # teles 16.3 (non pnp) on IRQ=15, PORT=0xd80
+	# append="hisax=3,3,5,0xd8000,0xd80,HiSax"
+	boot=/dev/sda
+	compact        # faster, but won't work on all systems.
+	linear
+	read-only
+	prompt
+	timeout=100
+	vga = normal    # force sane state
+	# Linux bootable partition config begins
+	image = /etc/kernel/linux.isdn
+	root = /dev/sda1
+	label = linux.isdn
+	#
+	image = /etc/kernel/linux-2.0.30
+	root = /dev/sda1
+	label = linux.secure
+
+   In the line starting with "append" you have to adapt the parameters
+   according to your card (see above in this file)
+
+3. boot the new linux.isdn kernel
+4. start the ISDN subsystem:
+   a) load - if necessary - the modules (depends, whether you compiled
+      the ISDN driver as module or not)
+      According to the type of card you have to specify the necessary
+      driver parameter (irq, io, mem, type, protocol).
+      For the leased line the protocol is "3". See the table above for
+      the parameters, which you have to specify depending on your card.
+   b) configure i4l
+      /sbin/isdnctrl addif isdn0
+      # EAZ  1 -- B1 channel   2 --B2 channel
+      /sbin/isdnctrl eaz isdn0 1
+      /sbin/isdnctrl secure isdn0 on
+      /sbin/isdnctrl huptimeout isdn0 0
+      /sbin/isdnctrl l2_prot isdn0 hdlc
+      # Attention you must not set an outgoing number !!! This won't work !!!
+      # The incoming number is LEASED0 for the first card, LEASED1 for the
+      # second and so on.
+      /sbin/isdnctrl addphone isdn0 in LEASED0
+      # Here is no need to bind the channel.
+   c) in case the remote partner is a CISCO:
+      /sbin/isdnctrl encap isdn0 cisco-h
+   d) configure the interface
+      /sbin/ifconfig isdn0 ${LOCAL_IP} pointopoint ${REMOTE_IP}
+   e) set the routes
+      /sbin/route add -host ${REMOTE_IP} isdn0
+      /sbin/route add default gw ${REMOTE_IP}
+   f) switch the card into leased mode for each used B-channel
+      /sbin/hisaxctrl HiSax 5 1
+
+Remarks:
+a) Use state of the art isdn4k-utils
+
+Here an example script:
+#!/bin/sh

+
+This document describes the ACT2000 driver for the
+IBM Active 2000 ISDN card.
+
+There are 3 Types of this card available. A ISA-, MCA-, and PCMCIA-Bus
+Version. Currently, only the ISA-Bus version of the card is supported.
+However MCA and PCMCIA will follow soon.
+
+The ISA-Bus Version uses 8 IO-ports. The base port address has to be set
+manually using the DIP switches.
+
+Setting up the DIP switches for the IBM Active 2000 ISDN card:
+
+	 Note: S5 and S6 always set off!
+
+     S1  S2  S3  S4  Base-port
+     on  on  on  on  0x0200 (Factory default)
+     off on  on  on  0x0240 
+     on  off on  on  0x0280

+     off on  off off 0xcea0 
+     on  off off off 0xce60 
+     off off off off Card disabled 
+
+IRQ is configured by software. Possible values are:
+
+  3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15 and none (polled mode)
+
+
+The ACT2000 driver may either be built into the kernel or as a module.
+Initialization depends on how the driver is built:
+
+Driver built into the kernel:
+
+  The ACT2000 driver can be configured using the commandline-feature while
+  loading the kernel with LILO or LOADLIN. It accepts the following syntax:
+
+  act2000=b,p,i[,idstring]
+
+  where
+
+    b = Bus-Type      (1=ISA, 2=MCA, 3=PCMCIA)
+    p = portbase      (-1 means autoprobe)
+    i = Interrupt     (-1 means use next free IRQ, 0 means polled mode)
+
+  The idstring is an arbitrary string used for referencing the card
+  by the actctrl tool later.
+
+  Defaults used, when no parameters given at all:
+
+    1,-1,-1,""
+
+  which means: Autoprobe for an ISA card, use next free IRQ, let the
+  ISDN linklevel fill the IdString (usually "line0" for the first card).
+ 
+  If you like to use more than one card, you can use the program
+  "actctrl" from the utility-package to configure additional cards.
+
+  Using the "actctrl"-utility, portbase and irq can also be changed
+  during runtime. The D-channel protocol is configured by the "dproto"
+  option of the "actctrl"-utility after loading the firmware into the
+  card's memory using the "actctrl"-utility.
+
+Driver built as module:
+
+  The module act2000.o can be configured during modprobe (insmod) by
+  appending its parameters to the modprobe resp. insmod commandline.
+  The following syntax is accepted:
+
+    act_bus=b act_port=p act_irq=i act_id=idstring
+
+  where b, p, i and idstring have the same meanings as the parameters
+  described for the builtin version above.
+
+  Using the "actctrl"-utility, the same features apply to the modularized
+  version as to the kernel-builtin one. (i.e. loading of firmware and
+  configuring the D-channel protocol)
+
+Loading the firmware into the card:
+
+  The firmware is supplied together with the isdn4k-utils package. It
+  can be found in the subdirectory act2000/firmware/
+
+  Assuming you have installed the utility-package correctly, the firmware
+  will be downloaded into the card using the following command:
+
+    actctrl -d idstring load /etc/isdn/bip11.btl
+
+  where idstring is the Name of the card, given during insmod-time or
+  (for kernel-builtin driver) on the kernel commandline. If only one
+  ISDN card is used, the -d isdstrin may be omitted.
+
+  For further documentation (adding more IBM Active 2000 cards), refer to
+  the manpage actctrl.8 which is included in the isdn4k-utils package.

+
+ISDN subsystem for Linux.
+  Description of audio mode.
+
+When enabled during kernel configuration, the tty emulator of the ISDN
+subsystem is capable of a reduced set of commands to support audio.
+This document describes the commands supported and the format of
+audio data.
+
+Commands for enabling/disabling audio mode:
+
+        AT+FCLASS=8      Enable audio mode.
+                         This affects the following registers:
+                           S18: Bits 0 and 2 are set.
+                           S16: Set to 48 and any further change to
+                                larger values is blocked.
+        AT+FCLASS=0      Disable audio mode.
+                         Register 18 is set to 4.
+        AT+FCLASS=?      Show possible modes.
+        AT+FCLASS?       Report current mode (0 or 8).
+
+Commands supported in audio mode:
+
+All audio mode commands have one of the following forms:
+
+        AT+Vxx?          Show current setting.
+        AT+Vxx=?         Show possible settings.
+        AT+Vxx=v         Set simple parameter.
+        AT+Vxx=v,v ...   Set complex parameter.
+
+where xx is a two-character code and v are alphanumerical parameters.
+The following commands are supported:
+
+        AT+VNH=x         Auto hangup setting. NO EFFECT, supported
+                         for compatibility only.
+        AT+VNH?          Always reporting "1"
+        AT+VNH=?         Always reporting "1"
+
+        AT+VIP           Reset all audio parameters.
+
+        AT+VLS=x         Line select. x is one of the following:
+                           0 = No device.
+                           2 = Phone line.
+        AT+VLS=?         Always reporting "0,2"
+        AT+VLS?          Show current line.
+
+        AT+VRX           Start recording. Emulator responds with
+                         CONNECT and starts sending audio data to
+                         the application. See below for data format
+
+        AT+VSD=x,y       Set silence-detection parameters.
+                         Possible parameters:
+                           x = 0 ... 31  sensitivity threshold level.
+                                         (default 0 , deactivated)
+                           y = 0 ... 255 range of interval in units
+                                         of 0.1 second. (default 70)
+        AT+VSD=?         Report possible parameters.
+        AT+VSD?          Show current parameters.
+
+        AT+VDD=x,y       Set DTMF-detection parameters.
+                         Only possible if online and during this connection.
+                         Possible parameters:
+                           x = 0 ... 15  sensitivity threshold level.
+                                         (default 0 , I4L soft-decode)
+                                         (1-15 soft-decode off, hardware on)
+                           y = 0 ... 255 tone duration in units of 5ms.
+                                         Not for I4L soft decode (default 8, 40ms)
+        AT+VDD=?         Report possible parameters.
+        AT+VDD?          Show current parameters.
+
+        AT+VSM=x         Select audio data format.
+                         Possible parameters:
+                           2 = ADPCM-2
+                           3 = ADPCM-3
+                           4 = ADPCM-4
+                           5 = aLAW
+                           6 = uLAW
+        AT+VSM=?         Show possible audio formats.
+
+        AT+VTX           Start audio playback. Emulator responds
+                         with CONNECT and starts sending audio data
+                         received from the application via phone line.
+General behavior and description of data formats/protocol.
+    when a connection is made:
+
+      On incoming calls, if the application responds to a RING
+      with ATA, depending on the calling service, the emulator
+      responds with either CONNECT (data call) or VCON (voice call).
+      
+      On outgoing voice calls, the emulator responds with VCON
+      upon connection setup.
+
+  Audio recording.
+
+    When receiving audio data, a kind of bisync protocol is used.
+    Upon AT+VRX command, the emulator responds with CONNECT, and
+    starts sending audio data to the application. There are several
+    escape sequences defined, all using DLE (0x10) as Escape char:
+
+    <DLE><ETX>              End of audio data. (i.e. caused by a
+                            hangup of the remote side) Emulator stops
+                            recording, responding with VCON.
+    <DLE><DC4>		    Abort recording, (send by appl.) Emulator
+			    stops recording, sends DLE,ETX.
+    <DLE><DLE>              Escape sequence for DLE in data stream.
+    <DLE>0                  Touchtone "0" received.
+         ...
+    <DLE>9                  Touchtone "9" received.
+    <DLE>#                  Touchtone "#" received.
+    <DLE>*                  Touchtone "*" received.
+    <DLE>A                  Touchtone "A" received.
+    <DLE>B                  Touchtone "B" received.
+    <DLE>C                  Touchtone "C" received.
+    <DLE>D                  Touchtone "D" received.
+
+    <DLE>q                  quiet. Silence detected after non-silence.
+    <DLE>s                  silence. Silence detected from the
+                            start of recording.
+
+    Currently unsupported DLE sequences:
+
+    <DLE>c                  FAX calling tone received.
+    <DLE>b                  busy tone received.
+
+  Audio playback.
+
+    When sending audio data, upon AT+VTX command, emulator responds with
+    CONNECT, and starts transferring data from application to the phone line.
+    The same DLE sequences apply to this mode.
+
+  Full-Duplex-Audio:
+
+    When _both_ commands for recording and playback are given in _one_
+    AT-command-line (i.e.: "AT+VTX+VRX"), full-duplex-mode is selected.
+	In this mode, the only way to stop recording is sending <DLE><DC4>
+    and the only way to stop playback is to send <DLE><ETX>.

+Driver for active AVM Controller.
+
+The driver provides a kernel capi2.0 Interface (kernelcapi) and
+on top of this a User-Level-CAPI2.0-interface (capi)
+and a driver to connect isdn4linux with CAPI2.0 (capidrv).
+The lowlevel interface can be used to implement a CAPI2.0
+also for passive cards since July 1999.
+
+The author can be reached at calle@calle.in-berlin.de.
+The command avmcapictrl is part of the isdn4k-utils.
+t4-files can be found at ftp://ftp.avm.de/cardware/b1/linux/firmware
+
+Currently supported cards:
+	B1 ISA (all versions)
+	B1 PCI
+	T1/T1B (HEMA card)
+	M1
+	M2
+	B1 PCMCIA
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+You need at least /dev/capi20 to load the firmware.
+
+mknod /dev/capi20 c 68 0
+mknod /dev/capi20.00 c 68 1
+mknod /dev/capi20.01 c 68 2
+.
+.
+.
+mknod /dev/capi20.19 c 68 20
+
+Running
+-------
+
+To use the card you need the t4-files to download the firmware.
+AVM GmbH provides several t4-files for the different D-channel
+protocols (b1.t4 for Euro-ISDN). Install these file in /lib/isdn.
+
+if you configure as modules load the modules this way:
+
+insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/capiutil.o
+insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/b1.o
+insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/kernelcapi.o
+insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/capidrv.o
+insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/capi.o
+
+if you have an B1-PCI card load the module b1pci.o
+insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/b1pci.o
+and load the firmware with
+avmcapictrl load /lib/isdn/b1.t4 1
+
+if you have an B1-ISA card load the module b1isa.o
+and add the card by calling
+avmcapictrl add 0x150 15
+and load the firmware by calling
+avmcapictrl load /lib/isdn/b1.t4 1
+
+if you have an T1-ISA card load the module t1isa.o
+and add the card by calling
+avmcapictrl add 0x450 15 T1 0
+and load the firmware by calling

+Description of the "concap" encapsulation protocol interface
+============================================================
+
+The "concap" interface is intended to be used by network device
+drivers that need to process an encapsulation protocol. 
+It is assumed that the protocol interacts with a linux network device by
+- data transmission
+- connection control (establish, release)
+Thus, the mnemonic: "CONnection CONtrolling eNCAPsulation Protocol".
+
+This is currently only used inside the isdn subsystem. But it might
+also be useful to other kinds of network devices. Thus, if you want
+to suggest changes that improve usability or performance of the
+interface, please let me know. I'm willing to include them in future
+releases (even if I needed to adapt the current isdn code to the
+changed interface).
+
+
+Why is this useful?
+===================
+
+The encapsulation protocol used on top of WAN connections or permanent
+point-to-point links are frequently chosen upon bilateral agreement.
+Thus, a device driver for a certain type of hardware must support
+several different encapsulation protocols at once.
+
+The isdn device driver did already support several different
+encapsulation protocols. The encapsulation protocol is configured by a
+user space utility (isdnctrl). The isdn network interface code then
+uses several case statements which select appropriate actions
+depending on the currently configured encapsulation protocol.
+
+In contrast, LAN network interfaces always used a single encapsulation
+protocol which is unique to the hardware type of the interface. The LAN
+encapsulation is usually done by just sticking a header on the data. Thus,
+traditional linux network device drivers used to process the
+encapsulation protocol directly (usually by just providing a hard_header()
+method in the device structure) using some hardware type specific support
+functions. This is simple, direct and efficient. But it doesn't fit all
+the requirements for complex WAN encapsulations. 
+
+
+   The configurability of the encapsulation protocol to be used
+   makes isdn network interfaces more flexible, but also much more
+   complex than traditional lan network interfaces.
+
+
+Many Encapsulation protocols used on top of WAN connections will not just
+stick a header on the data. They also might need to set up or release
+the WAN connection. They also might want to send other data for their
+private purpose over the wire, e.g. ppp does a lot of link level
+negotiation before the first piece of user data can be transmitted.
+Such encapsulation protocols for WAN devices are typically more complex
+than encapsulation protocols for lan devices. Thus, network interface
+code for typical WAN devices also tends to be more complex.
+
+
+In order to support Linux' x25 PLP implementation on top of
+isdn network interfaces I could have introduced yet another branch to
+the various case statements inside drivers/isdn/isdn_net.c.
+This eventually made isdn_net.c even more complex. In addition, it made
+isdn_net.c harder to maintain. Thus, by identifying an abstract
+interface between the network interface code and the encapsulation
+protocol, complexity could be reduced and maintainability could be
+increased.
+
+
+Likewise, a similar encapsulation protocol will frequently be needed by
+several different interfaces of even different hardware type, e.g. the
+synchronous ppp implementation used by the isdn driver and the
+asynchronous ppp implementation used by the ppp driver have a lot of
+similar code in them. By cleanly separating the encapsulation protocol
+from the hardware specific interface stuff such code could be shared
+better in future.
+
+
+When operating over dial-up-connections (e.g. telephone lines via modem,
+non-permanent virtual circuits of wide area networks, ISDN) many
+encapsulation protocols will need to control the connection. Therefore,
+some basic connection control primitives are supported. The type and
+semantics of the connection (i.e the ISO layer where connection service
+is provided) is outside our scope and might be different depending on
+the encapsulation protocol used, e.g. for a ppp module using our service
+on top of a modem connection a connect_request will result in dialing
+a (somewhere else configured) remote phone number. For an X25-interface
+module (LAPB semantics, as defined in Documentation/networking/x25-iface.txt)
+a connect_request will ask for establishing a reliable lapb
+datalink connection.
+
+
+The encapsulation protocol currently provides the following
+service primitives to the network device.
+
+- create a new encapsulation protocol instance
+- delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources
+- initialize (open) the encapsulation protocol instance for use.
+- deactivate (close) an encapsulation protocol instance.
+- process (xmit) data handed down by upper protocol layer
+- receive data from lower (hardware) layer
+- process connect indication from lower (hardware) layer
+- process disconnect indication from lower (hardware) layer
+
+
+The network interface driver accesses those primitives via callbacks
+provided by the encapsulation protocol instance within a
+struct concap_proto_ops.
+
+struct concap_proto_ops{
+
+	/* create a new encapsulation protocol instance of same type */
+	struct concap_proto *  (*proto_new) (void);
+
+	/* delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources.
+	   cprot may no loger be referenced after calling this */
+	void (*proto_del)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
+
+	/* initialize the protocol's data. To be called at interface startup
+	   or when the device driver resets the interface. All services of the
+	   encapsulation protocol may be used after this*/
+	int (*restart)(struct concap_proto *cprot, 
+		       struct net_device *ndev,
+		       struct concap_device_ops *dops);
+
+	/* deactivate an encapsulation protocol instance. The encapsulation
+	   protocol may not call any *dops methods after this. */
+	int (*close)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
+
+	/* process a frame handed down to us by upper layer */
+	int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+	/* to be called for each data entity received from lower layer*/ 
+	int (*data_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+	/* to be called when a connection was set up/down.
+	   Protocols that don't process these primitives might fill in
+	   dummy methods here */
+	int (*connect_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
+	int (*disconn_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
+};
+
+
+The data structures are defined in the header file include/linux/concap.h.
+
+
+A Network interface using encapsulation protocols must also provide
+some service primitives to the encapsulation protocol:
+
+- request data being submitted by lower layer (device hardware) 
+- request a connection being set up by lower layer 
+- request a connection being released by lower layer
+
+The encapsulation protocol accesses those primitives via callbacks
+provided by the network interface within a struct concap_device_ops.
+
+struct concap_device_ops{
+
+	/* to request data be submitted by device */ 
+	int (*data_req)(struct concap_proto *, struct sk_buff *);
+
+	/* Control methods must be set to NULL by devices which do not
+	   support connection control. */
+	/* to request a connection be set up */ 
+	int (*connect_req)(struct concap_proto *);
+
+	/* to request a connection be released */
+	int (*disconn_req)(struct concap_proto *);	
+};
+
+The network interface does not explicitly provide a receive service
+because the encapsulation protocol directly calls netif_rx(). 
+
+
+
+
+An encapsulation protocol itself is actually the
+struct concap_proto{
+	struct net_device *net_dev;		/* net device using our service  */
+	struct concap_device_ops *dops; /* callbacks provided by device */
+ 	struct concap_proto_ops  *pops; /* callbacks provided by us */
+	int flags;
+	void *proto_data;               /* protocol specific private data, to
+					   be accessed via *pops methods only*/
+	/*
+	  :
+	  whatever 
+	  :
+	  */
+};
+
+Most of this is filled in when the device requests the protocol to 
+be reset (opend). The network interface must provide the net_dev and
+dops pointers. Other concap_proto members should be considered private
+data that are only accessed by the pops callback functions. Likewise,
+a concap proto should access the network device's private data
+only by means of the callbacks referred to by the dops pointer.
+
+
+A possible extended device structure which uses the connection controlling
+encapsulation services could look like this:
+
+struct concap_device{
+	struct net_device net_dev;
+	struct my_priv  /* device->local stuff */
+			/* the my_priv struct might contain a 
+			   struct concap_device_ops *dops;
+	                   to provide the device specific callbacks
+			*/
+	struct concap_proto *cprot;        /* callbacks provided by protocol */
+};
+
+
+
+Misc Thoughts
+=============
+
+The concept of the concap proto might help to reuse protocol code and
+reduce the complexity of certain network interface implementations.
+The trade off is that it introduces yet another procedure call layer
+when processing the protocol. This has of course some impact on
+performance. However, typically the concap interface will be used by
+devices attached to slow lines (like telephone, isdn, leased synchronous
+lines). For such slow lines, the overhead is probably negligible.
+This might no longer hold for certain high speed WAN links (like
+ATM).
+
+
+If general linux network interfaces explicitly supported concap
+protocols (e.g. by a member struct concap_proto* in struct net_device)
+then the interface of the service function could be changed
+by passing a pointer of type (struct net_device*) instead of
+type (struct concap_proto*). Doing so would make many of the service
+functions compatible to network device support functions.
+
+e.g. instead of the concap protocol's service function
+
+  int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+we could have
+
+  int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+As this is compatible to the dev->hard_start_xmit() method, the device
+driver could directly register the concap protocol's encap_and_xmit()
+function as its hard_start_xmit() method. This would eliminate one
+procedure call layer.
+
+
+The device's data request function could also be defined as
+ 
+  int (*data_req)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+This might even allow for some protocol stacking. And the network
+interface might even register the same data_req() function directly
+as its hard_start_xmit() method when a zero layer encapsulation
+protocol is configured. Thus, eliminating the performance penalty
+of the concap interface when a trivial concap protocol is used.
+Nevertheless, the device remains able to support encapsulation
+protocol configuration.

+
+1. Features of the i4l diversion services 
+   (Or what can the i4l diversion services do for me)
+
+   The i4l diversion services offers call forwarding and logging normally 
+   only supported by isdn phones. Incoming calls may be diverted 
+   unconditionally (CFU), when not reachable (CFNR) or on busy condition 
+   (CFB). 
+   The diversions may be invoked statically in the providers exchange
+   as normally done by isdn phones. In this case all incoming calls
+   with a special (or all) service identifiers are forwarded if the 
+   forwarding reason is met. Activated static services may also be 
+   interrogated (queried).
+   The i4l diversion services additionally offers a dynamic version of
+   call forwarding which is not preprogrammed inside the providers exchange
+   but dynamically activated by i4l.
+   In this case all incoming calls are checked by rules that may be
+   compared to the mechanism of ipfwadm or ipchains. If a given rule matches
+   the checking process is finished and the rule matching will be applied
+   to the call.
+   The rules include primary and secondary service identifiers, called 
+   number and subaddress, callers number and subaddress and whether the rule
+   matches to all filtered calls or only those when all B-channel resources
+   are exhausted.
+   Actions that may be invoked by a rule are ignore, proceed, reject, 
+   direct divert or delayed divert of a call.
+   All incoming calls matching a rule except the ignore rule a reported and
+   logged as ASCII via the proc filesystem (/proc/net/isdn/divert). If proceed
+   is selected the call will be held in a proceeding state (without ringing)
+   for a certain amount of time to let an external program or client decide
+   how to handle the call. 
+            
+
+2. Required hard- and software
+   
+   For using the i4l diversion services the isdn line must be of a EURO/DSS1
+   type. Additionally the i4l services only work together with the HiSax 
+   driver for passive isdn cards. All HiSax supported cards may be used for
+   the diversion purposes.
+   The static diversion services require the provider having static services
+   CFU, CFNR, CFB activated on an MSN-line. The static services may not be 
+   used on a point-to-point connection. Further the static services are only
+   available in some countries (for example germany). Countries requiring the 
+   keypad protocol for activating static diversions (like the netherlands) are
+   not supported but may use the tty devices for this purpose.
+   The dynamic diversion services may be used in all countries if the provider
+   enables the feature CF (call forwarding). This should work on both MSN- and
+   point-to-point lines.
+   To add and delete rules the additional divertctrl program is needed. This
+   program is part of the isdn4kutils package.   
+
+3. Compiling, installing and loading/unloading the module  
+   Tracing calling and diversion information 
+
+
+   To compile the i4l code with diversion support you need to say yes to the 
+   DSS1 diversion services when selecting the i4l options in the kernel 
+   config (menuconfig or config).
+   After having properly activated a make modules and make modules_install all
+   required modules will be correctly installed in the needed modules dirs.
+   As the diversion services are currently not included in the scripts of most
+   standard distributions you will have to add a "insmod dss1_divert" after
+   having loaded the global isdn module.
+   The module can be loaded without any command line parameters.
+   If the module is actually loaded and active may be checked with a 
+   "cat /proc/modules" or "ls /proc/net/isdn/divert". The divert file is 
+   dynamically created by the diversion module and removed when the module is
+   unloaded.
+
+
+4. Tracing calling and diversion information
+ 
+   You also may put a "cat /proc/net/isdn/divert" in the background with the
+   output redirected to a file. Then all actions of the module are logged.
+   The divert file in the proc system may be opened more than once, so in 
+   conjunction with inetd and a small remote client on other machines inside
+   your network incoming calls and reactions by the module may be shown on 
+   every listening machine. 
+   If a call is reported as proceeding an external program or client may 
+   specify during a certain amount of time (normally 4 to 10 seconds) what
+   to do with that call.      
+   To unload the module all open files to the device in the proc system must
+   be closed. Otherwise the module (and isdn.o) may not be unloaded. 
+
+5. Format of the divert device ASCII output
+ 
+   To be done later

+Fax with isdn4linux
+===================
+
+When enabled during kernel configuration, the tty emulator
+of the ISDN subsystem is capable of the Fax Class 2 commands.
+
+This only makes sense under the following conditions :
+
+- You need the commands as dummy, because you are using
+  hylafax (with patch) for AVM capi.
+- You want to use the fax capabilities of your isdn-card.
+  (supported cards are listed below)
+
+
+NOTE: This implementation does *not* support fax with passive
+      ISDN-cards (known as softfax). The low-level driver of
+      the ISDN-card and/or the card itself must support this.
+
+
+Supported ISDN-Cards
+--------------------
+
+Eicon DIVA Server BRI/PCI
+	- full support with both B-channels.
+
+Eicon DIVA Server 4BRI/PCI
+	- full support with all B-channels.
+
+Eicon DIVA Server PRI/PCI
+	- full support on amount of B-channels
+		depending on DSPs on board.
+
+
+
+The command set is known as Class 2 (not Class 2.0) and
+can be activated by AT+FCLASS=2
+
+
+The interface between the link-level-module and the hardware-level driver
+is described in the files INTERFACE.fax and INTERFACE.

+The driver for the HFC-PCI and HFC-PCI-A chips from CCD may be used
+for many OEM cards using this chips.
+Additionally the driver has a special feature which makes it possible
+to read the echo-channel of the isdn bus. So all frames in both directions
+may be logged.
+When the echo logging feature is used the number of available B-channels
+for a HFC-PCI card is reduced to 1. Of course this is only relevant to
+the card, not to the isdn line.
+To activate the echo mode the following ioctls must be entered:
+
+hisaxctrl <driver/cardname> 10 1
+
+This reduces the available channels to 1. There must not be open connections
+through this card when entering the command.
+And then:
+
+hisaxctrl <driver/cardname> 12 1
+
+This enables the echo mode. If Hex logging is activated the isdnctrlx 
+devices show a output with a line beginning of HEX: for the providers
+exchange and ECHO: for isdn devices sending to the provider.
+
+If more than one HFC-PCI cards are installed, a specific card may be selected
+at the hisax module load command line. Supply the load command with the desired
+IO-address of the desired card. 
+Example:
+There tree cards installed in your machine at IO-base addresses 0xd000, 0xd400

+If you want to use the card at 0xd400 standalone you should supply the insmod
+or depmod with type=35 io=0xd400.
+If you want to use all three cards, but the order needs to be at 0xdc00,0xd400,
+0xd000 you may give the parameters type=35,35,35 io=0xdc00,0xd400,0xd00 
+Then the desired card will be the initialised in the desired order.
+If the io parameter is used the io addresses of all used cards should be 
+supplied else the parameter is assumed 0 and a auto search for a free card is
+invoked which may not give the wanted result.

+
+
+1. About the driver
+
+   The drivers/isdn/hysdn subdir contains a driver for HYPERCOPEs active 
+   PCI isdn cards Champ, Ergo and Metro. To enable support for this cards
+   enable ISDN support in the kernel config and support for HYSDN cards in
+   the active cards submenu. The driver may only be compiled and used if 
+   support for loadable modules and the process filesystem have been enabled.
+
+   These cards provide two different interfaces to the kernel. Without the
+   optional CAPI 2.0 support, they register as ethernet card. IP-routing
+   to a ISDN-destination is performed on the card itself. All necessary
+   handlers for various protocols like ppp and others as well as config info
+   and firmware may be fetched from Hypercopes WWW-Site www.hypercope.de.
+
+   With CAPI 2.0 support enabled, the card can also be used as a CAPI 2.0 
+   compliant devices with either CAPI 2.0 applications 
+   (check isdn4k-utils) or -using the capidrv module- as a regular
+   isdn4linux device. This is done via the same mechanism as with the 
+   active AVM cards and in fact uses the same module.
+   
+
+2. Loading/Unloading the driver
+
+   The module has no command line parameters and auto detects up to 10 cards
+   in the id-range 0-9.
+   If a loaded driver shall be unloaded all open files in the /proc/net/hysdn
+   subdir need to be closed and all ethernet interfaces allocated by this 
+   driver must be shut down. Otherwise the module counter will avoid a module
+   unload.
+   
+   If you are using the CAPI 2.0-interface, make sure to load/modprobe the
+   kernelcapi-module first.
+
+   If you plan to use the capidrv-link to isdn4linux, make sure to load
+   capidrv.o after all modules using this driver (i.e. after hysdn and
+   any avm-specific modules).
+
+3. Entries in the /proc filesystem
+
+   When the module has been loaded it adds the directory hysdn in the 
+   /proc/net tree. This directory contains exactly 2 file entries for each 
+   card. One is called cardconfX and the other cardlogX, where X is the
+   card id number from 0 to 9. 
+   The cards are numbered in the order found in the PCI config data.
+
+4. The /proc/net/hysdn/cardconfX file
+
+   This file may be read to get by everyone to get info about the cards type, 
+   actual state, available features and used resources.
+   The first 3 entries (id, bus and slot) are PCI info fields, the following
+   type field gives the information about the cards type:
+
+   4 -> Ergo card (server card with 2 b-chans)
+   5 -> Metro card (server card with 4 or 8 b-chans)
+   6 -> Champ card (client card with 2 b-chans)   
+
+   The following 3 fields show the hardware assignments for irq, iobase and the
+   dual ported memory (dp-mem).
+   The fields b-chans and fax-chans announce the available card resources of
+   this types for the user.
+   The state variable indicates the actual drivers state for this card with the
+   following assignments.
+
+   0 -> card has not been booted since driver load
+   1 -> card booting is actually in progess
+   2 -> card is in an error state due to a previous boot failure
+   3 -> card is booted and active
+
+   And the last field (device) shows the name of the ethernet device assigned
+   to this card. Up to the first successful boot this field only shows a -
+   to tell that no net device has been allocated up to now. Once a net device
+   has been allocated it remains assigned to this card, even if a card is
+   rebooted and an boot error occurs. 
+
+   Writing to the cardconfX file boots the card or transfers config lines to 
+   the cards firmware. The type of data is automatically detected when the 
+   first data is written. Only root has write access to this file.
+   The firmware boot files are normally called hyclient.pof for client cards
+   and hyserver.pof for server cards.
+   After successfully writing the boot file, complete config files or single
+   config lines may be copied to this file.
+   If an error occurs the return value given to the writing process has the 
+   following additional codes (decimal):
+
+   1000 Another process is currently bootng the card
+   1001 Invalid firmware header
+   1002 Boards dual-port RAM test failed
+   1003 Internal firmware handler error
+   1004 Boot image size invalid
+   1005 First boot stage (bootstrap loader) failed
+   1006 Second boot stage failure
+   1007 Timeout waiting for card ready during boot
+   1008 Operation only allowed in booted state
+   1009 Config line too long 
+   1010 Invalid channel number 
+   1011 Timeout sending config data
+
+   Additional info about error reasons may be fetched from the log output. 
+
+5. The /proc/net/hysdn/cardlogX file
+   	  
+   The cardlogX file entry may be opened multiple for reading by everyone to 
+   get the cards and drivers log data. Card messages always start with the
+   keyword LOG. All other lines are output from the driver. 
+   The driver log data may be redirected to the syslog by selecting the 
+   appropriate bitmask. The cards log messages will always be send to this
+   interface but never to the syslog.
+
+   A root user may write a decimal or hex (with 0x) value t this file to select
+   desired output options. As mentioned above the cards log dat is always 
+   written to the cardlog file independent of the following options only used
+   to check and debug the driver itself:
+
+   For example: 
+   echo "0x34560078" > /proc/net/hysdn/cardlog0
+   to output the hex log mask 34560078 for card 0.
+ 
+   The written value is regarded as an unsigned 32-Bit value, bit ored for 
+   desired output. The following bits are already assigned:
+
+   0x80000000   All driver log data is alternatively via syslog 
+   0x00000001   Log memory allocation errors
+   0x00000010   Firmware load start and close are logged
+   0x00000020   Log firmware record parser
+   0x00000040   Log every firmware write actions
+   0x00000080   Log all card related boot messages
+   0x00000100   Output all config data sent for debugging purposes
+   0x00000200   Only non comment config lines are shown wth channel
+   0x00000400   Additional conf log output
+   0x00001000   Log the asynchronous scheduler actions (config and log)
+   0x00100000   Log all open and close actions to /proc/net/hysdn/card files
+   0x00200000   Log all actions from /proc file entries
+   0x00010000   Log network interface init and deinit
+   
+6. Where to get additional info and help
+

+The card communicates with the PC by two interfaces:
+  1. A range of 4 successive port-addresses, whose base address can be 
+     configured with the switches.
+  2. A memory window with 16KB-256KB size, which can be setup in 16k steps
+     over the whole range of 16MB. Isdn4linux only uses a 16k window.
+     The base address of the window can be configured when loading

+
+The ICN driver may be built into the kernel or as a module. Initialization
+depends on how the driver is built:
+
+Driver built into the kernel:
+
+  The ICN driver can be configured using the commandline-feature while
+  loading the kernel with LILO or LOADLIN. It accepts the following syntax:
+
+  icn=p,m[,idstring1[,idstring2]]
+
+  where
+
+    p = portbase      (default: 0x320)
+    m = shared memory (default: 0xd0000)
+
+  When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings.
+  idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver
+  to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying
+  TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed.
+  
+  If you like to use more than one card, you can use the program
+  "icnctrl" from the utility-package to configure additional cards.
+  You need to configure shared memory only once, since the icn-driver
+  maps all cards into the same address-space.
+
+  Using the "icnctrl"-utility, portbase and shared memory can also be
+  changed during runtime.
+
+  The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware
+  into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility.
+
+
+Driver built as module:
+
+  The module icn.o can be configured during "insmod'ing" it by
+  appending its parameters to the insmod-commandline. The following
+  syntax is accepted:
+
+    portbase=p membase=m icn_id=idstring [icn_id2=idstring2]
+
+  where p, m, idstring1 and idstring2 have the same meanings as the
+  parameters described for the kernel-version above.
+      
+  When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings.
+  idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver
+  to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying
+  TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed.
+  
+  Using the "icnctrl"-utility, the same features apply to the modularized
+  version like to the kernel-builtin one.
+
+  The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware
+  into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility.
+
+Loading the firmware into the card:
+
+  The firmware is supplied together with the isdn4k-utils package. It
+  can be found in the subdirectory icnctrl/firmware/
+
+  There are 3 files:
+
+    loadpg.bin   - Image of the bootstrap loader.
+    pc_1t_ca.bin - Image of firmware for german 1TR6 protocol.
+    pc_eu_ca.bin - Image if firmware for EDSS1 (Euro-ISDN) protocol.
+
+  Assuming you have installed the utility-package correctly, the firmware
+  will be downloaded into the 2B-card using the following command:
+
+    icnctrl -d Idstring load /etc/isdn/loadpg.bin /etc/isdn/pc_XX_ca.bin
+
+  where XX is either "1t" or "eu", depending on the D-Channel protocol
+  used on your S0-bus and Idstring is the Name of the card, given during
+  insmod-time or (for kernel-builtin driver) on the kernel commandline.
+
+  To load a 4B-card, the same command is used, except a second firmware
+  file is appended to the commandline of icnctrl.
+
+  -> After downloading firmware, the two LEDs at the back cover of the card
+     (ICN-4B: 4 LEDs) must be blinking intermittently now. If a connection
+     is up, the corresponding led is lit continuously.
+
+  For further documentation (adding more ICN-cards), refer to the manpage
+  icnctrl.8 which is included in the isdn4k-utils package.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The PCBIT is a Euro ISDN adapter manufactured in Portugal by Octal and
+developed in cooperation with Portugal Telecom and Inesc.
+The driver interfaces with the standard kernel isdn facilities
+originally developed by Fritz Elfert in the isdn4linux project.
+
+The common versions of the pcbit board require a firmware that is 
+distributed (and copyrighted) by the manufacturer. To load this
+firmware you need "pcbitctl" available on the standard isdn4k-utils
+package or in the pcbit package available in:
+
+ftp://ftp.di.fc.ul.pt/pub/systems/Linux/isdn
+
+Known Limitations:
+
+- The board reset procedure is at the moment incorrect and will only
+allow you to load the firmware after a hard reset.
+
+- Only HDLC in B-channels is supported at the moment. There is no
+current support for X.25 in B or D channels nor LAPD in B
+channels. The main reason is that these two other protocol modes have,
+to my knowledge, very little use. If you want to see them implemented
+*do* send me a mail.
+
+- The driver often triggers errors in the board that I and the
+manufacturer believe to be caused by bugs in the firmware. The current
+version includes several procedures for error recovery that should
+allow normal operation. Plans for the future include cooperation with
+the manufacturer in order to solve this problem.
+
+Information/hints/help can be obtained in the linux isdn
+mailing list (isdn4linux@listserv.isdn4linux.de) or directly from me.

+
+1. Introduction
+---------------
+
+The revision 2 Linux driver for SpellCaster ISA ISDN adapters is built
+upon ISDN4Linux available separately or as included in Linux 2.0 and later.
+The driver will support a maximum of 4 adapters in any one system of any
+type including DataCommute/BRI, DataCommute/PRI and TeleCommute/BRI for a
+maximum of 92 channels for host. The driver is supplied as a module in
+source form and needs to be complied before it can be used. It has been
+tested on Linux 2.0.20.
+
+1.1 What Is ISDN4Linux
+
+ISDN4Linux is a driver and set of tools used to access and use ISDN devices
+on a Linux platform in a common and standard way. It supports HDLC and PPP
+protocols and offers channel bundling and MLPPP support. To use ISDN4Linux
+you need to configure your kernel for ISDN support and get the ISDN4Linux
+tool kit from our web site.
+
+ISDN4Linux creates a channel pool from all of the available ISDN channels
+and therefore can function across adapters. When an ISDN4Linux compliant
+driver (such as ours) is loaded, all of the channels go into a pool and
+are used on a first-come first-served basis. In addition, individual
+channels can be specifically bound to particular interfaces.
+
+1.2 What is different between this driver and previous drivers?
+
+The revision 2 driver besides adopting the ISDN4Linux architecture has many
+subtle and not so subtle functional differences from previous releases. These
+include:
+	- More efficient shared memory management combined with a simpler
+	  configuration. All adapters now use only 16Kbytes of shared RAM
+	  versus between 16K and 64K. New methods for using the shared RAM
+	  allow us to utilize all of the available RAM on the adapter through
+	  only one 16K page.
+	- Better detection of available upper memory. The probing routines
+	  have been improved to better detect available shared RAM pages and
+	  used pages are now locked.
+	- Decreased loading time and a wider range of I/O ports probed.
+	  We have significantly reduced the amount of time it takes to load
+	  the driver and at the same time doubled the number of I/O ports
+	  probed increasing the likelihood of finding an adapter.
+	- We now support all ISA adapter models with a single driver instead
+	  of separate drivers for each model. The revision 2 driver supports
+	  the DataCommute/BRI, DataCommute/PRI and TeleCommute/BRI in any
+	  combination up to a maximum of four adapters per system.
+	- On board PPP protocol support has been removed in favour of the
+	  sync-PPP support used in ISDN4Linux. This means more control of
+	  the protocol parameters, faster negotiation time and a more
+	  familiar interface.
+
+1.3 How do I setup my system with the correct software to use
+    this driver release?
+
+Before you can compile, install and use the SpellCaster ISA ISDN driver, you
+must ensure that the following software is installed, configured and running:
+
+	- Linux kernel 2.0.20 or later with the required init and ps
+	  versions. Please see your distribution vendor for the correct
+	  utility packages. The latest kernel is available from
+	  ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/v2.0/
+
+	- The latest modules package (modules-2.0.0.tar.gz) from
+	  ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/modules-2.0.0.tar.gz
+
+	- The ISDN4Linux tools available from 
+	  ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/isdn4linux/v2.0/isdn4k-utils-2.0.tar.gz
+	  This package may fail to compile for you so you can alternatively
+	  get a pre-compiled version from
+	  ftp://ftp.spellcast.com/pub/drivers/isdn4linux/isdn4k-bin-2.0.tar.gz
+
+
+2. Basic Operations
+-------------------
+
+2.1 Unpacking and installing the driver
+
+	1. As root, create a directory in a convenient place. We suggest
+	   /usr/src/spellcaster.
+	
+	2. Unpack the archive with :
+		tar xzf sc-n.nn.tar.gz -C /usr/src/spellcaster
+	
+	3. Change directory to /usr/src/spellcaster
+
+	4. Read the README and RELNOTES files.
+
+	5. Run 'make' and if all goes well, run 'make install'.
+
+2.2 Read the man pages!!!
+
+Make sure you read the scctrl(8) and sc(4) manual pages before continuing
+any further. Type 'man 8 scctrl' and 'man 4 sc'.
+
+2.3 Installing the driver
+
+To install the driver, type '/sbin/insmod sc' as root. sc(4) details options
+you can specify but you shouldn't need to use any unless this doesn't work.
+
+Make sure the driver loaded and detected all of the adapters by typing
+'dmesg'.
+
+The driver can be configured so that it is loaded upon startup.  To do this, 
+edit the file "/etc/modules/'uname -f'/'uname -v'" and insert the driver name
+"sc" into this file.
+
+2.4 Removing the driver
+
+To remove the driver, delete any interfaces that may exist (see isdnctrl(8)
+for more on this) and then type '/sbin/rmmod sc'.
+
+2.5 What to do if it doesn't load
+
+If, when you try to install the driver, you get a message mentioning
+'register_isdn' then you do not have the ISDN4Linux system installed. Please
+make sure that ISDN support is configured in the kernel.
+
+If you get a message that says 'initialization of sc failed', then the
+driver failed to detect an adapter or failed to find resources needed such
+as a free IRQ line or shared memory segment. If you are sure there are free
+resources available, use the insmod options detailed in sc(4) to override
+the probing function.  
+
+Upon testing, the following problem was noted, the driver would load without
+problems, but the board would not respond beyond that point.  When a check was 
+done with 'cat /proc/interrupts' the interrupt count for sc was 0.  In the event 
+of this problem, change the BIOS settings so that the interrupts in question are
+reserved for ISA use only.   
+
+
+2.6 How to setup ISDN4Linux with the driver
+
+There are three main configurations which you can use with the driver:
+
+A)	Basic HDLC connection
+B)	PPP connection
+C)	MLPPP connection
+
+It should be mentioned here that you may also use a tty connection if you
+desire. The Documentation directory of the isdn4linux subsystem offers good
+documentation on this feature.
+
+A) 10 steps to the establishment of a basic HDLC connection
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+- please open the isdn-hdlc file in the examples directory and follow along...
+	
+	This file is a script used to configure a BRI ISDN TA to establish a 
+	basic HDLC connection between its two channels.  Two network 
+	interfaces are created and two routes added between the channels.
+
+	i)   using the isdnctrl utility, add an interface with "addif" and 
+	     name it "isdn0"
+	ii)  add the outgoing and inbound telephone numbers
+	iii) set the Layer 2 protocol to hdlc
+	iv)  set the eaz of the interface to be the phone number of that 
+	     specific channel
+	v)   to turn the callback features off, set the callback to "off" and
+	     the callback delay (cbdelay) to 0.
+	vi)  the hangup timeout can be set to a specified number of seconds
+	vii) the hangup upon incoming call can be set on or off 
+	viii) use the ifconfig command to bring up the network interface with 
+	      a specific IP address and point to point address
+	ix)  add a route to the IP address through the isdn0 interface
+	x)   a ping should result in the establishment of the connection
+
+	
+B) Establishment of a PPP connection
+------------------------------------
+
+- please open the isdn-ppp file in the examples directory and follow along...
+	
+	This file is a script used to configure a BRI ISDN TA to establish a 
+	PPP connection 	between the two channels.  The file is almost 
+	identical to the HDLC connection example except that the packet 
+	encapsulation type has to be set.
+	
+	use the same procedure as in the HDLC connection from steps i) to 
+	iii) then, after the Layer 2 protocol is set, set the encapsulation 
+	"encap" to syncppp. With this done, the rest of the steps, iv) to x) 
+	can be followed from above.
+
+	Then, the ipppd (ippp daemon) must be setup:
+	
+	xi)   use the ipppd function found in /sbin/ipppd to set the following:
+	xii)  take out (minus) VJ compression and bsd compression
+	xiii) set the mru size to 2000
+	xiv)  link the two /dev interfaces to the daemon
+
+NOTE:  A "*" in the inbound telephone number specifies that a call can be 
+accepted on any number.
+
+C) Establishment of a MLPPP connection
+--------------------------------------
+
+- please open the isdn-mppp file in the examples directory and follow along...
+	
+	This file is a script used to configure a BRI ISDN TA to accept a 
+	Multi Link PPP connection. 
+	
+	i)   using the isdnctrl utility, add an interface with "addif" and 
+	     name it "ippp0"
+	ii)  add the inbound telephone number
+	iii) set the Layer 2 protocol to hdlc and the Layer 3 protocol to 
+	     trans (transparent)
+	iv)  set the packet encapsulation to syncppp
+	v)   set the eaz of the interface to be the phone number of that 
+	     specific channel
+	vi)  to turn the callback features off, set the callback to "off" and
+	     the callback delay (cbdelay) to 0.
+	vi)  the hangup timeout can be set to a specified number of seconds
+	vii) the hangup upon incoming call can be set on or off 
+	viii) add a slave interface and name it "ippp32" for example
+	ix)  set the similar parameters for the ippp32 interface
+	x)   use the ifconfig command to bring-up the ippp0 interface with a 
+	     specific IP address and point to point address
+	xi)  add a route to the IP address through the ippp0 interface
+	xii) use the ipppd function found in /sbin/ipppd to set the following:
+	xiii) take out (minus) bsd compression
+	xiv) set the mru size to 2000
+	xv)  add (+) the multi-link function "+mp"
+	xvi)  link the two /dev interfaces to the daemon
+
+NOTE:  To use the MLPPP connection to dial OUT to a MLPPP connection, change 
+the inbound telephone numbers to the outgoing telephone numbers of the MLPPP 
+host.
+
+	
+3. Beta Change Summaries and Miscellaneous Notes
+------------------------------------------------
+When using the "scctrl" utility to upload firmware revisions on the board,
+please note that the byte count displayed at the end of the operation may be
+different from the total number of bytes in the "dcbfwn.nn.sr" file. Please
+disregard the displayed byte count.
+
+It was noted that in Beta Release 1, the module would fail to load and result
+in a segmentation fault when 'insmod'ed. This problem was created when one of
+the isdn4linux parameters, (isdn_ctrl, data field) was filled in. In some
+cases, this data field was NULL, and was left unchecked, so when it was
+referenced... segv. The bug has been fixed around line 63-68 of event.c.

+Some additional information for setting up a syncPPP
+connection using network interfaces.
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You need one thing beside the isdn4linux package:
+
+  a patched pppd .. (I called it ipppd to show the difference)
+
+Compiling isdn4linux with sync PPP:
+-----------------------------------
+To compile isdn4linux with the sync PPP part, you have
+to answer the appropriate question when doing a "make config"
+Don't forget to load the slhc.o
+module before the isdn.o module, if VJ-compression support
+is not compiled into your kernel. (e.g if you have no PPP or
+CSLIP in the kernel)
+
+Using isdn4linux with sync PPP:
+-------------------------------
+Sync PPP is just another encapsulation for isdn4linux. The
+name to enable sync PPP encapsulation is 'syncppp' .. e.g:
+
+  /sbin/isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
+
+The name of the interface is here 'ippp0'. You need 
+one interface with the name 'ippp0' to saturate the
+ipppd, which checks the ppp version via this interface.
+Currently, all devices must have the name ipppX where
+'X' is a decimal value.
+
+To set up a PPP connection you need the ipppd .. You must start 
+the ipppd once after installing the modules. The ipppd 
+communicates with the isdn4linux link-level driver using the
+/dev/ippp0 to /dev/ippp15 devices. One ipppd can handle
+all devices at once. If you want to use two PPP connections
+at the same time, you have to connect the ipppd to two
+devices .. and so on. 
+I've implemented one additional option for the ipppd:
+ 'useifip' will get (if set to not 0.0.0.0) the IP address 
+ for the negotiation from the attached network-interface. 
+(also: ipppd will try to negotiate pointopoint IP as remote IP)
+You must disable BSD-compression, this implementation can't
+handle compressed packets.
+
+Check the etc/rc.isdn.syncppp in the isdn4kernel-util package
+for an example setup script.
+
+To use the MPPP stuff, you must configure a slave device
+with isdn4linux. Now call the ipppd with the '+mp' option.
+To increase the number of links, you must use the
+'addlink' option of the isdnctrl tool. (rc.isdn.syncppp.MPPP is
+an example script)
+
+enjoy it,
+    michael

+X.25 support within isdn4linux
+==============================
+
+This is alpha/beta test code. Use it completely at your own risk.
+As new versions appear, the stuff described here might suddenly change
+or become invalid without notice.
+
+Keep in mind:
+
+You are using several new parts of the 2.2.x kernel series which
+have not been tested in a large scale. Therefore, you might encounter
+more bugs as usual.
+
+- If you connect to an X.25 neighbour not operated by yourself, ASK the
+  other side first. Be prepared that bugs in the protocol implementation
+  might result in problems.
+
+- This implementation has never wiped out my whole hard disk yet. But as
+  this is experimental code, don't blame me if that happened to you.
+  Backing up important data will never harm.
+
+- Monitor your isdn connections while using this software. This should
+  prevent you from undesired phone bills in case of driver problems.
+  
+ 
+
+
+How to configure the kernel
+===========================
+ 
+The ITU-T (former CCITT) X.25 network protocol layer has been implemented
+in the Linux source tree since version 2.1.16. The isdn subsystem might be 
+useful to run X.25 on top of ISDN. If you want to try it, select
+
+   "CCITT X.25 Packet Layer"
+
+from the networking options as well as
+
+   "ISDN Support" and "X.25 PLP on Top of ISDN"
+
+from the ISDN subsystem options when you configure your kernel for
+compilation. You currently also need to enable
+"Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" from the
+"Code maturity level options" menu. For the x25trace utility to work
+you also need to enable "Packet socket".
+
+For local testing it is also recommended to enable the isdnloop driver
+from the isdn subsystem's configuration menu.
+
+For testing, it is recommended that all isdn drivers and the X.25 PLP
+protocol are compiled as loadable modules. Like this, you can recover
+from certain errors by simply unloading and reloading the modules.
+
+
+
+What's it for? How to use it?
+=============================
+
+X.25 on top of isdn might be useful with two different scenarios:
+
+- You might want to access a public X.25 data network from your Linux box.
+  You can use i4l if you were physically connected to the X.25 switch
+  by an ISDN B-channel (leased line as well as dial up connection should
+  work).
+
+  This corresponds to ITU-T recommendation X.31 Case A (circuit-mode
+  access to PSPDN [packet switched public data network]).
+
+  NOTE: X.31 also covers a Case B (access to PSPDN via virtual
+  circuit / packet mode service). The latter mode (which in theory
+  also allows using the D-channel) is not supported by isdn4linux.
+  It should however be possible to establish such packet mode connections
+  with certain active isdn cards provided that the firmware supports X.31
+  and the driver exports this functionality to the user. Currently, 
+  the AVM B1 driver is the only driver which does so. (It should be
+  possible to access D-channel X.31 with active AVM cards using the
+  CAPI interface of the AVM-B1 driver).
+
+- Or you might want to operate certain ISDN teleservices on your linux
+  box. A lot of those teleservices run on top of the ISO-8208
+  (DTE-DTE mode) network layer protocol. ISO-8208 is essentially the
+  same as ITU-T X.25.
+
+  Popular candidates of such teleservices are EUROfile transfer or any
+  teleservice applying ITU-T recommendation T.90.
+
+To use the X.25 protocol on top of isdn, just create an isdn network
+interface as usual, configure your own and/or peer's ISDN numbers,
+and choose x25iface encapsulation by
+
+   isdnctrl encap <iface-name> x25iface.
+
+Once encap is set like this, the device can be used by the X.25 packet layer.
+
+All the stuff needed for X.25 is implemented inside the isdn link
+level (mainly isdn_net.c and some new source files). Thus, it should
+work with every existing HL driver. I was able to successfully open X.25
+connections on top of the isdnloop driver and the hisax driver.
+"x25iface"-encapsulation bypasses demand dialing. Dialing will be
+initiated when the upper (X.25 packet) layer requests the lapb datalink to
+be established. But hangup timeout is still active. Whenever a hangup
+occurs, all existing X.25 connections on that link will be cleared
+It is recommended to use sufficiently large hangup-timeouts for the
+isdn interfaces.
+
+
+In order to set up a conforming protocol stack you also need to
+specify the proper l2_prot parameter:
+
+To operate in ISO-8208  X.25 DTE-DTE mode, use
+
+   isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x75i
+
+To access an X.25 network switch via isdn (your linux box is the DTE), use
+
+   isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dte
+
+To mimic an X.25 network switch (DCE side of the connection), use
+
+   isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dce
+
+However, x25dte or x25dce is currently not supported by any real HL
+level driver. The main difference between x75i and x25dte/dce is that
+x25d[tc]e uses fixed lap_b addresses. With x75i, the side which
+initiates the isdn connection uses the DTE's lap_b address while the
+called side used the DCE's lap_b address. Thus, l2_prot x75i might
+probably work if you access a public X.25 network as long as the
+corresponding isdn connection is set up by you. At least one test
+was successful to connect via isdn4linux to an X.25 switch using this
+trick. At the switch side, a terminal adapter X.21 was used to connect
+it to the isdn.
+
+
+How to set up a test installation?
+==================================
+
+To test X.25 on top of isdn, you need to get
+
+- a recent version of the "isdnctrl" program that supports setting the new
+  X.25 specific parameters.
+
+- the x25-utils-2.X package from 
+  ftp://ftp.hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/linux/ax25/x25utils-*
+  (don't confuse the x25-utils with the ax25-utils)
+
+- an application program that uses linux PF_X25 sockets (some are
+  contained in the x25-util package).
+
+Before compiling the user level utilities make sure that the compiler/
+preprocessor will fetch the proper kernel header files of this kernel
+source tree. Either make /usr/include/linux a symbolic link pointing to 
+this kernel's include/linux directory or set the appropriate compiler flags.
+
+When all drivers and interfaces are loaded and configured you need to
+ifconfig the network interfaces up and add X.25-routes to them. Use
+the usual ifconfig tool.
+
+ifconfig <iface-name> up
+
+But a special x25route tool (distributed with the x25-util package)
+is needed to set up X.25 routes. I.e. 
+
+x25route add 01 <iface-name>
+
+will cause all x.25 connections to the destination X.25-address
+"01" to be routed to your created isdn network interface.
+
+There are currently no real X.25 applications available. However, for
+tests, the x25-utils package contains a modified version of telnet
+and telnetd that uses X.25 sockets instead of tcp/ip sockets. You can
+use those for your first tests. Furthermore, you might check
+ftp://ftp.hamburg.pop.de/pub/LOCAL/linux/i4l-eft/ which contains some
+alpha-test implementation ("eftp4linux") of the EUROfile transfer
+protocol.
+
+The scripts distributed with the eftp4linux test releases might also
+provide useful examples for setting up X.25 on top of isdn.
+
+The x25-utility package also contains an x25trace tool that can be
+used to monitor X.25 packets received by the network interfaces.
+The /proc/net/x25* files also contain useful information.

+simple isdn4linux PPP FAQ .. to be continued .. not 'debugged' 
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q01: what's pppd, ipppd, syncPPP, asyncPPP ??
+Q02: error message "this system lacks PPP support"
+Q03: strange information using 'ifconfig'
+Q04: MPPP?? What's that and how can I use it ...
+Q05: I tried MPPP but it doesn't work 
+Q06: can I use asynchronous PPP encapsulation with network devices
+Q07: A SunISDN machine can't connect to my i4l system
+Q08: I wanna talk to several machines, which need different configs
+Q09: Starting the ipppd, I get only error messages from i4l
+Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment 
+Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is.
+Q12: How can I reduce login delay? 
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Q01: pppd, ipppd, syncPPP, asyncPPP .. what is that ?
+   what should I use?
+A: The pppd is for asynchronous PPP .. asynchronous means
+   here, the framing is character based. (e.g when
+   using ttyI* or tty* devices)
+
+   The ipppd handles PPP packets coming in HDLC
+   frames (bit based protocol) ... The PPP driver
+   in isdn4linux pushes all IP packets direct
+   to the network layer and all PPP protocol
+   frames to the /dev/ippp* device. 
+   So, the ipppd is a simple external network
+   protocol handler.
+
+   If you login into a remote machine using the
+   /dev/ttyI* devices and then enable PPP on the
+   remote terminal server -> use the 'old' pppd
+
+   If your remote side immediately starts to send
+   frames ... you probably connect to a 
+   syncPPP machine .. use the network device part
+   of isdn4linux with the 'syncppp' encapsulation
+   and make sure, that the ipppd is running and 
+   connected to at least one /dev/ippp*. Check the 
+   isdn4linux manual on how to configure a network device.
+
+--
+
+Q02: when I start the ipppd .. I only get the
+   error message "this system lacks PPP support"
+A: check that at least the device 'ippp0' exists.
+   (you can check this e.g with the program 'ifconfig')
+   The ipppd NEEDS this device under THIS name .. 
+   If this device doesn't exists, use:
+	isdnctrl addif ippp0
+	isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
+	... (see isdn4linux doc for more) ...
+A: Maybe you have compiled the ipppd with another
+   kernel source tree than the kernel you currently
+   run ... 
+
+--
+
+Q03: when I list the netdevices with ifconfig I see, that
+   my ISDN interface has a HWaddr and IRQ=0 and Base 
+   address = 0 
+A: The device is a fake ethernet device .. ignore IRQ and baseaddr
+   You need the HWaddr only for ethernet encapsulation.
+   
+--
+
+Q04: MPPP?? What's that and how can I use it ...
+
+A: MPPP or MP or MPP (Warning: MP is also an 
+   acronym for 'Multi Processor') stands for
+   Multi Point to Point and means bundling
+   of several channels to one logical stream.
+   To enable MPPP negotiation you must call the
+   ipppd with the '+mp' option. 
+   You must also configure a slave device for
+   every additional channel. (see the i4l manual
+   for more)
+   To use channel bundling you must first activate
+   the 'master' or initial call. Now you can add 
+   the slave channels with the command:
+       isdnctrl addlink <device>
+   e.g:
+       isdnctrl addlink ippp0
+   This is different from other encapsulations of
+   isdn4linux! With syncPPP, there is no automatic
+   activation of slave devices.
+
+--
+
+Q05: I tried MPPP but it doesn't work .. the ipppd
+   writes in the debug log something like:
+   .. rcvd [0][proto=0x3d] c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 01 00 0a ...
+   .. sent [0][LCP ProtRej id=0x2 00 3d c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 ...
+
+A: you forgot to compile MPPP/RFC1717 support into the
+   ISDN Subsystem. Recompile with this option enabled.
+
+--
+
+Q06: can I use asynchronous PPP encapsulation
+   over the network interface of isdn4linux ..
+
+A: No .. that's not possible .. Use the standard
+   PPP package over the /dev/ttyI* devices. You
+   must not use the ipppd for this.
+   
+--
+
+Q07: A SunISDN machine tries to connect my i4l system,
+   which doesn't work.
+   Checking the debug log I just saw garbage like:
+!![ ... fill in the line ... ]!!
+
+A: The Sun tries to talk asynchronous PPP ... i4l
+   can't understand this ... try to use the ttyI*
+   devices with the standard PPP/pppd package
+
+A: (from Alexanter Strauss: )
+!![ ... fill in mail ]!!
+
+--
+
+Q08: I wanna talk to remote machines, which need
+   a different configuration. The only way
+   I found to do this is to kill the ipppd and
+   start a new one with another config to connect
+   to the second machine. 
+
+A: you must bind a network interface explicitly to
+   an ippp device, where you can connect a (for this
+   interface) individually configured ipppd.
+
+--
+
+Q09: When I start the ipppd I only get error messages
+   from the i4l driver .. 
+
+A: When starting, the ipppd calls functions which may 
+   trigger a network packet. (e.g gethostbyname()).
+   Without the ipppd (at this moment, it is not
+   fully started) we can't handle this network request.
+   Try to configure hostnames necessary for the ipppd
+   in your local /etc/hosts file or in a way, that
+   your system can resolve it without using an
+   isdn/ippp network-interface.
+
+--
+
+Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment ... How 
+   must I configure the network device.
+
+A: At least you must have a route which forwards
+   a packet to the ippp network-interface to trigger
+   the dial-on-demand.
+   A default route to the ippp-interface will work.
+   Now you must choose a dummy IP address for your
+   interface.
+   If for some reason you can't set the default
+   route to the ippp interface, you may take any 
+   address of the subnet from which you expect your
+   dynamic IP number and set a 'network route' for
+   this subnet to the ippp interface.
+   To allow overriding of the dummy address you
+   must call the ipppd with the 'ipcp-accept-local' option.
+
+A: You must know, how the ipppd gets the addresses it wanna
+   configure. If you don't give any option, the ipppd
+   tries to negotiate the local host address!
+   With the option 'noipdefault' it requests an address
+   from the remote machine. With 'useifip' it gets the
+   addresses from the net interface. Or you set the address
+   on the option line with the <a.b.c.d:e.f.g.h> option.
+   Note: the IP address of the remote machine must be configured
+   locally or the remote machine must send it in an IPCP request.
+   If your side doesn't know the IP address after negotiation, it
+   closes the connection!
+   You must allow overriding of address with the 'ipcp-accept-*'
+   options, if you have set your own or the remote address 
+   explicitly.
+
+A: Maybe you try these options .. e.g:   
+
+    /sbin/ipppd :$REMOTE noipdefault /dev/ippp0
+
+   where REMOTE must be the address of the remote machine (the
+   machine, which gives you your address)
+
+--
+
+Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is.
+
+A: A good help log is the debug output from the ipppd...
+   Check whether you can find there:
+   - only a few LCP-conf-req SENT messages (less then 10)
+     and then a Term-REQ:
+     -> check whether your ISDN card is well configured
+        it seems, that your machine doesn't dial
+        (IRQ,IO,Proto, etc problems)
+        Configure your ISDN card to print debug messages and
+        check the /dev/isdnctrl output next time. There
+        you can see, whether there is activity on the card/line.
+   - there are at least a few RECV messages in the log:
+     -> fine: your card is dialing and your remote machine
+        tries to talk with you. Maybe only a missing 
+        authentication. Check your ipppd configuration again.
+   - the ipppd exits for some reason:
+     -> not good ... check /var/adm/syslog and /var/adm/daemon.
+        Could be a bug in the ipppd.
+
+--
+
+Q12: How can I reduce login delay?
+
+A: Log a login session ('debug' log) and check which options 
+  your remote side rejects. Next time configure your ipppd
+  to not negotiate these options. Another 'side effect' is, that
+  this increases redundancy. (e.g your remote side is buggy and
+  rejects options in a wrong way).
