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 ;(
