You need to load the isdn modules first

modprobe hisax <options>

For me, options are type=15 protocol=2 io=0x100 irq=10 id=line0

In /var/log/syslog, you should get lines like

The last two lines indicate proper loading, otherwise the options you
gave don't fit.

Check the kernel source at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/isdn/README.HiSax for information about
the options you have to use for your card.

Later, you can place the option into /etc/modutils/options
as options hisax type=15 protocol=2 io=0x100 irq=10 id=line0
and run update-menus to make the options standard.

Also make sure, "auto" is enabled in /etc/modules

You may want to compile a custom kernel, if the drivers for the
isdncard are not installed in the standard kernel. Install the
kernel-package package and read the README in /usr/doc/kernel-package.

You most likely use the wrong device. Check /etc/ppp/peers/provider.
It should be /dev/ttyI0, not /dev/ttySx.
Also in /etc/chatscripts/provider, change the initialisation from ATZ
to AT&e<your MSN>s14=3
