Description Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-22 01:13:44 UTC
These are the Kernel Options we need for ISDN:
under Network Device Support
- PPP Support

Under ISDN Subsystem
- ISDN Support
 - Those compression options would be nice
 We don't need audio/fax or feature submodules
 - Passive ISDN Cards
  - Support for EURO DSS1
   - Disable sending complete
     (for australian users)
  - Support for US NI1
  We don't need German 1TR6 as Euro ISDN is used in germany now
  - It is best to enable all cards, at least Teles, AVM and Telekom     Cards
are widely used at least in Germany
 Active ISDN Cards aren't used very often i heard

Additionally, we need at least the following tools from the isdn4k-utils package:
- ipppd (ISDN PPP Daemon)
- isdnctrl, to control the isdn card
isdnlog and hisaxctrl/telesctrl are only used to set logging options, but i
think logging phone calls isn't really necessary. 
loopctrl is used to control the isdn loop device, so it's not needed 

I hope this is all, if you have questions just drop me a line

kind regards
Nils Meyer

Hi, sorry for the long delay on this bug. Please take a look at
isdn4k-utils-3.2_p1-r1.ebuild. If you could, build it and then list exactly what
I need to keep and what can be removed. In particular, do we need anything in
/usr/share/isdn? And what files in /etc are needed? 
Comment 3 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-20 15:01:21 UTC
ISDN is now on this CD: http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/gentoo-
basic-x86-2002121700.iso -- it is not stripped down and needs to be tested, but 
it should work. Please report success/failure here.

Comment 5 Bob Johnson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-20 09:46:53 UTC
should be working
Comment 6 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-25 11:24:36 UTC
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
