I doubt Alexander would mind ... :-)
I suggest joining the isdn4linux mailing list by sending
mail to majordomo@hub-wue.franken.de with
subscribe isdn4linux your_email_address
in the body, and read the FAQ residing on
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/isdn4linux/FAQ/

Yes, the recommended way is to patch the kernel to get the HiSax driver
included instead of using the teles. It is in active development,
considered more stable and supports more hardware. I recommend however
to build the driver as a loadable module. The isdnutils Package in
instable is rather outdated however (Christian.. ?), I recommend getting
the current sources from
ftp.franken.de/pub/isdn4linux/v2.0/isdn4k-utils-2.0.tar.gz
and using
ftp.franken.de/pub/isdn4linux/HiSax/HiSax_1.5.patch_for_2.0.gz
as the kernel patch. A lot of people (including me) have problems with the
current HiSax.
Don't be afraid, isdn4linux is a very well working and stable product
Probably the new driver will make it's way to 2.0.30 kernel, making
applying patches unnecessary.
