First off sorry for the cross posting .. I am running Mandrake linux 7.1 Trying to connect to freeserve using an asus Asuslink 128k internal isdn card. Mandrake as worked fine up to now, but has failed to find either the internal modem or the isdn card, I am pretty sure once I have working isdn setup under linux the dial up and ip forwarding shouldnt be too hard to get running so .. if I could just work out how to install the isdn module ... So far I have deduced, the kernal already supports isdn, I have some old isdn modules (isdn.o hiasx.o and some other one I cant remember) which arnt being loaded, they also fail to load with either modprobe or insmod (though insmod can load isdn.o using -f), I also have newer versions of said files on the isdn card driver CD, these also failed to load for all the same reason (they are for an early kernal - forget which one - I am at work). Anyone know where I can get newer versions of the asuslink isdn code driver modules. which do I need isdn.o or hisax.o and whats the difference ??? If the correct kernal version will it get auto loaded, (assuming its in /lib/modules/linux/misc), or do I need to add entries for it will the device files in /dev get created automatically or do I need to do that as well ??? You get the idea ... I am new to messing with kernal level bobbins. Anyhow any info would be usefull, also replys by email as well as reply posts, if anyone can be bothered, as I am liable to lose track of where I posted etc :P The wo's of a terrible memory ;( Alex
