I'd be interested to know what exactly went wrong, as on my tests
the new isdnctrl works fine (it does display a message that it
detected an old kernel, but that shouldn't be a problem; that's why
the new device.xxx script has "|| true" added to the end of the
"isdnctrl dialmode" line.

Hang on, that isn't an isdnctrl from the old isdnutils-2.1.beta1 package;
that didn't have dialmode _or_ status; only the CVS versions had that...

Again, this should not be necessary. Perhaps if you were also running
some version of the CVS kernel code for ISDN there might be some
problem, but standard debian kernels never needed the "isdnctrl status"
command.

That's going a bit far, I think, and not necessary IMO.
