Quite old version of Linux, but you get the idea.

README.teles:

This is my Linux hardware level driver for Teles compatible ISDN
cards. It is meant to be used with isdn4isdn4linux, an ISDN Link-level
module for Linux writt en by Fritz Elfert.

Isdn4linux can be obtained from ftp.franken.de:/pub/isdn4linux. The most recent 
Teles driver can be found on my homepage, http://www.xs4all.nl:/~jdo.

Warning
-------
Teles4isdn4linux is a work in progress and may crash your machine. It has not 
been certified and therefore operation on your PTT's ISDN network is probably 
illegal.

Limitations
-----------
Teles4isdn4linux only works on Euro ISDN lines and german 1TR6-lines.

For the B channel transparent (HDLC) protocol and X.75 have been implemented. 

Running
-------
When you insmod isdn.o and teles.o (or with the kernel-version, during
boottime) a few lines should appear in your syslog. Look for something
like:

Oct 11 16:53:30 jedi kernel: channels 2
Oct 11 16:53:31 jedi kernel: Teles module installed

Remember, that according to the new strategy for accessing
Low-level-drivers from within isdn4linux you should also define a
driver-id while doing insmod: Simply append teles_id=<SomeString> to
the insmod-commandline. This string MUST NOT start with a digit or a
small 'x'!

At this point you can run a 'cat /dev/isdnctrl0' and view debugging 
messages. Debugging messages are enabled with the telesctrl tool: 

        teles/telesctrl <DriverId> 1 <debugging_flags>

where <debugging_flags> is the integer sum of the following debugging
options you wish enabled:

        1   Link-level <--> Hardware-level communication
        2   Top state machine 
        4   D channel Q.931 (call control messages)
        8   D channel Q.921 
        16  B channel X.75
        32  Lowlevel (irq and Layer1 stuff)

For example 'teles/telesctrl MyTeles 1 63' enables full 
debugging.

---------
