In fact /dev/isdnctrl is missing as well (It is a link to /dev/isdnctrl0).
I removed all the isdn devices and remade them with ./MAKEDEV isdn-io.
This does not resolve the problem, though.

I did some further investigation; in fact, ipppd is running, but it did not
open the ippp0 device. At initialisation, I get

ippp0: Operation not supported by device
ippp0: Operation not supported by device

I get the same if I do cat > /dev/ippp0.
Somehow, the device does not accept an "open". I am still figuring out how
to enable code in isdn.o and hisax.o.
