Please note I can read just a little French, so if anyone wants to answer
in French, feel free and http://www.francophonie.hachette-livre.fr/ will
be my friend.

That far I got already.

So that is part of the information I needed! Thanks! I'm copying the
DSL How-To maintainer, being a US resident he too is not familiar with
DSL over ISDN.
That means there's nothing to be done at the NID (the wire box in the
basement), right? And that, practically speaking, the splitter for ISDN
is functionally equivalent to the POTS microfilter, just that it goes
between the NT and the outlet? Because for POTS, it seems the splitter
must go in the NID, for what I could gather.

Thanks, but the initial use of the line will be with a notebook. Also, I
generally dislike PCI cards since I got to use a 'real' external
USRobotics "V.Everything" Courier. But I will try and get an old 486/66
I've found at 'debarrage' to work, perhaps that will enable to use a
card if nothing else goes. Any pointers to the drivers, or even to the
devices themselves?

I can understand that, I would appreciate to have a Portuguese and
Spanish list for free software users in Switzerland. Unfortunately,
that's not really viable yet. I could post to debian-users-portuguese
or something the like, but then products and procedures are so different
here and there.

Good suggestion. I hadn't thought about that. Suggestion accepted!
I do hope to get a working French soon…
