Re: ISDN in Debian 2.0: questions.

I think so. You should compile the HiSax drivers in. But a current
Debian kernel should have ISDN support compiled in.

No, you only need the isdnutils.

That's right.

>libraries?

I don't think that a kernel depends on libraries.

>Can anybody suggest a card (passive, active?)?

I had no problems with an old Teles S0 16.3, but had problems with a
Teles PNP. All cards with an Siemens chip should work: AVM Fritzcard,
Elsa, Sedlbauer,... Don't know if the current Teles cards works. Look
at the isdn4linux FAQ and in newsgroups (I think there is
alt.de.isdn4linux newsgroup - use www.dejanews.com)

There is a ipppd for synchronous PPP in the isdnutils package.
