I am not familiar with many of the software packages you are using, but I
have set well over 200 Internet connections on ISDN. When using both bearer
channels for connection to an ISP (for 128K) the ISP expects you to run
MLPPP (multilink PPP).

Subject: [expert] ISDN ? !
Hi
after trying to get an answer inside newbie I'l hope here is the better
place ..
I've tried to install ISDN for a few ! days and now I found it a bit boring
=:-( without any help
I use MD 6.1 ; have got a CD for testing befor bying a few and deciding to
use it at some schools in Berlin.
A MUST is ISDN connection.
I found an "kisdn-1.0.1_2-mdk6-kde-1.1.i386.rpm" but it seems to
be bad. I got an error installing the rpm saying couldn't access. OK no
problem..
By downloading I only found an Kisdn_1.1.......... package ( no mdk Version!
)
The above couldn't be found at MD nor RedHat.
I installed the newer. It seems to work until I want to get an connection.
I only get an error after "ifconfig ippp0 up" that "dialing of ippp0
failed"
So, what's wrong ?
After reading a much I learned ? that there will be installed a
"ioptions.ippp0" out of the "ioptions" file
together with some other files.
I couldn't find any ioptions.ippp0 file!
I tested the IPPP0 dev with isdnctrl list ippp0 -> everyline seems to be ok
"isdnctrl dial ippp0" brings up the same error msg.
What I found ( or better not found ) are the scripts / files mentioned in
some docs ( shure I read all I reached )
at /etc/isdn and /etc/ppp. As I know there have to be a few pointing to
ippp0. I can't find any. only the defaults
is it possible that MD uses an other way to save their scripts and running
isdn?
To see if I'm running into hardware trouble I installed another Linux.
Hardware has been tested ( with SUSE Linux -> installed and ready to go! It
works as it has to do) !!!!
Hisax shows the same EA ; IRQ ;... like the one installed at MD.
Questions:
is there an other way to test the ISDN calling by hand as I 've done with
loading all the parts with isdnctrl
into ippp0 and then using "isdnctrl dial ippp0"?
Who has a running ISDN connection?
Who is willing to help me?
( please don't write " Why don't you use SUSE if you had it up and go ?! " I
want to UNDERSTAND why
it's ( not ) running! so please help (if you can)
Bye Peter
