I think so.

Yes.

This is part of isdnlog config. See /usr/doc/isdnutils/isdnlog/README.de.gz

Better do so. This is not much hassle to change this, no?
ALso you should edit /etc/isdn/ipppd.ippp0 if you use syncppp.

Base values? What do you mean with this?

Yes.
Edit /etc/isdn/device.ippp0, etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d/isdnutils
Also make sure you don't have an old entry in /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.
HM> 6: the option file for isdnlog (isdnlog.isdnctrl0?)
HM> Question: should i change some of the default parameters or can i

There are reasonable defaults. If you want something special, change
them.
HM> 7: edit /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/isdnutils to disable dial-on-demand.
Yes. See above.
HM> 8: remove the "not configured" lines from the config files.
Yes.

Sorry, I use dial on demand. Probably add the user to group dialout
and dip (adduser dialout theuser).
HM> Can i insert the commands for mail-processing in

Better create a new script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d . This is better design.

Yes.

Never heared of such a bug.
