Still valid, the device should be set to ONBOOT="yes" after configuration or 
it should be asked like it is done for network cards.

After the configuration of ISDN is done, it should be started at bootup.
Currently it is handled like a pppd-connection. But this handling is wrong.

/etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfg-ippp0 should be switched to ONBOOT="yes" to
ensure the ippp0 is up after boot.

Note: this do not cause ISDN to dialin. Only the Pseudo-NIC is up. After a
isdnctrl dial ippp0 the dialout is started. So it is safe to handle ippp0 as any
other NIC and ask to start it at boot time. This issue leads to confusion since
the beginnig of isdn-support in Mandrake back in 7.0. 

Further it would be nice to be able to configure several connections(for dialing
different ISPs at different times), asking if ibod (automatic channelbundling)
should be used or not and so on. But I guess this would be a TODO for 9.2 or so.

Further if ISDN is configured and kisdndial is in the distro it should be
installed/started for easier dial out. This would need to ensure the correct
rights on devices and needed commands.
