I cannot fully remember what the problem was, but I think it was the
fact that the new isdnctrl doesn't support the option "status on/off",
so it wasn't possible to dial out.
But at the moment I'm not completely sure, whether "status" came from
the official kernel or from the isdn4linux CVS tree. IIRC in the
official kernel status was "on" by default, while it was "off" in the
CVS code.
So my problems my not exist with the official kernels <= 2.0.35.

Correct, I installed Debian on my server only step by step and so I
came from the CVS and not from isdnutils-2.1.beta1.

Okay, than it shouldn't be a problem to simply upgrade slink to
isdnutils-3*
Tschoeeee
