Hi all,

We are installing ISDN at work in the next few weeks, and I obviously 
want to take advantage of this to access Demon.

Can anyone reccomend a suitable ISDN card for connection to Demon 
using Linux? Also, is there anyone who has prepared a guide to getting 
an ISDN card working under Linux, connecting to Demon?

We are currently using diald to control the on-demand dialling, would 
we continue to use this, or does ISDN use another method. How easy is 
it to adjust what packets cause ISDN to bring up the link (if another 
method is used).

We also currently use Hylafax to accept faxes and data calls (both shell
logins and ppp) on the Linux box. Will it be possible to continue to do this
using the ISDN, or will we need an analogue modem to handle this?

Finally, if this is in an FAQ, please point me to it. I haven't seen a 
d.s.i FAQ posted to demon.answers.

Many thanks,

Andy
