Don't know about Debian since we use Red Hat at work (don't ask why) and I don't ISDN
at home, but under Red Hat all I have to do is enable ISDN support in the kernel then
tell PPP to use ttyI0. I don't imagine Debian would be much different. No need for
any external packages, or maybe this is something else Red Hat installs without being
asked to.
Cheers,
Tom
