Re: ISDN

I can only tell for isdn-TAs, they're usually external serial devices, so
they "look&feel" ;-) like any normal modem, no problems, no hassles.
usually you can set the various interesting options (channelbundling
thresholds, encapsulation etc) via the init-string, so you just pretend
having a normal modem, use pppd (and diald, thats great with isdn where
you can get well under 1 second until connected!) just as before. they're
not as cheap as a passive Fritz!-card or the like, though.

you might also want to have a look at the task-dialup and isdnutils - packages...
