Auerswald ISDN PABX systems and Telephones. They are sold in some
parts of europe, mostly germany. They are multifunction devices:
configuration, d-channel-tracer, CTI and Internet access. My first aim is
to set up configuration (which uses the control endpoint). Internet access
requires a modem emulation build into the driver or a connection to
isdn4linux.
