How did you get away with that?  I thought compile was absolutely
neacesary.

Anyway I did get things to work...it was something totally stupid.

The script file that I got from the Traverse site went via a
Win machine and had lots of nice ^M characters in it:-(

Scripts do not like that.  After cleaning them up all was fine.

Documentation for Isdn4linux could be better,
but you should check out the FAQ at http://www.isdn4linux.de an Paul
Slootmans's page at http://www.wurtel.demon.nl/i4l-howto-uk.html

Basically, just get these for steps right and you're off.

Alternative, use Suse linux or kde's isdn-tool or RH's built-in scripts
?

1. Insert the hisax module:
	(see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/isdn/README.HiSax)

2. Set ISDN parameters in kernel with isdnctrl.
	(see man isdnctrl)

3. run ifconfig to configure net-device
	(see man ifconfig)

4. run ipppd
	(man ipppd)

If you run into trouble with one of these steps, ring back and we look
somewhat further,

Greetzzz,

If you have a Traverse card they have a step by step guide on their
website (www.traverse.com.au). However, I didn't like their method
particularly as it didn't fit in well with the RH system of doing
things. I found rh-isdn-conf-0.53-3 and rh-isdn-0.53-3, installed them
on the RH6.0 system. You may not need to do this on RH6.1 as it seems
to include the ISDN utilities and perhaps supports ISDN ippp devices.

I didn't have to compile the utilities or the kernel.

Probably in most cases, but I was stubborn and was trying to keep the
system as vanilla as possible. RH61 includes the isdn tools so I should
go and upgrade the system - then the kernel and utilties will match.
