Component: isdn4k-utils
Summary: No Bugreport/collections of thoughts on this package and
related.

I just want to collect some thoughts about this package in here. I have allready
posted some of them maybe.
Update this package?
There is a 3.2pre1 out since some time. Current in mandrake is 3.1pre10. I don't
know if the isdn4linux folks never release stable releases.
Split up the package?
Debian did split this package in several smaller packages. I guess this should
be done here to. As suggestion could be used the debian packages. Some of my
thoughts after reading the debian package site:
- isdn4k- core utils
- isdn4k- capi utils/active-cards aka capi4k-utils
- vbox2
---- Suggestions (there are several solutions/extensions vor vbox) -----
- vbox2www
- vbox3
- vbox3www
- raccess4vbox
- vbox-cm (????)

- isdn4k- eurofile
.....
Currently the package is 5MB big and some things are missing.
divertctrl is missing .
Alltough the kerneldrivers are compiled with divert-support (divert-dsss1.o),
the isdn4k-utils are not, so the divertctrl tool is missing. This tools can do
things like call-deflection. call forwarding and so on with a rule set very
similar to ipchains. In short a "nice to have"
it woud be nice to have isdn-compression.
Some ISPs provides different compression methods for isdn-connections. Due the
compression loading of a lot of uncompressed data (like big text-sites) can be a
lot faster than normal (for text I would say 5 times faster). As far as I can
see isdn_ccp and lzs compression is missing. I would not mind to discover this
further if there is interest.
capi4hylafax is missing.
capi4hylax is an extension to hylafax to use hylafax with fax-capable isdn-cards
that have a capi interface. (mainly all cards from AVM with their propritary
driver, all active AVM Cards, Eicon Diva should have capi-drivers too, I don't
know about auerswald).
pppdcapiplugin is missing.
this is part of the actual isdn4k utils. it makes possible to use pppd in order
with isdn-cards with capi-driver.
There seems to be a problem with the driver capidrv.o and devfs.
Alltough the /lib/dev-state/isdn/isdninfo is working (as I understand a copy of
/dev/isdn/isdninfo ??) the /dev/isdn/isdninfo worked not in the last releases. I
don't know about the current, since I could not test it yet.
Think thats all for now I could think of. I posted something similar to cooker
allready but wanted to save this here.
