|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
- it is now possible to mark an entry as valid for a specified day of week
|
|
and a specific time range only to take advantage of some new tariff models.
|
|
Please see the new keywords "valid" and "holidayfile" in isdnd.rc(5).
|
|
This feature is considered experimental, use at your own risk!
|
|
|
|
- keywords budget-callbacksfile and budget-calloutsfile added to isdnd's
|
|
entry section to write statistics information to a file
|
|
|
|
- a driver for the Dynalink IS64PH is now available for FreeBSD 4.x and up
|
|
|
|
beta release 0.95
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- ITK ix1 micro ISA non-PnP card should now work for FreeBSD >= 4.0
|
|
|
|
- setting "dialretries = -1" in isdnd.rc gives an unlimited number
|
|
of dial retries for that entry.
|
|
|
|
- the ELSA PCFpro ISDN card should now work for FreeBSD >= 4.0
|
|
|
|
- added new keywords (patch from Stefan Esser) to configure isppp
|
|
from within isdnd.rc. Documented in isdnd.rc(5), grep for "ppp-"
|
|
|
|
- isppp VJ compression negotiation now run-time configurable using
|
|
keywords "enable-vj" / "disable-vj" with ispppcontrol
|
|
|
|
- added new keywords to specify "budgets" for outbound calls in isdnd
|
|
to limit the number of possible calls within a given time period.
|
|
Runtime budget information and statistics are available in the isdnd
|
|
fullscreen menu display.
|
|
|
|
- added new "ifpnp" AVM Fritz!Card PnP driver for FreeBSD >= 4.0
|
|
contributed by Udo Schweigert.
|
|
|
|
- added experimental hardware driver from Hans Petter Selasky for the
|
|
Teles 16.3c card based on the Cologne Chip Designs HFC-S 2BDS0 chip
|
|
called "ihfc".
|
|
notes for Teles 16.3c PnP and AcerISDN P10: For optimal performance:
|
|
-> please connect the card to the S0-bus before booting the computer.
|
|
-> do not change the cable you're using when first booted.
|
|
Other notes if the card does not work at all:
|
|
-> disconnect other isdn equipment on your S0-bus and
|
|
reboot your computer.
|
|
-> try changing the CLKDEL/stdel value for your card:
|
|
../i4b/layer1-nb/ihfc/i4b_ihfc_pnp.c or
|
|
../i4b/layer1/ihfc/i4b_ihfc_pnp.c
|
|
around line 100. The value can be in the range 0x0-0xf.
|
|
|
|
- the FreeBSD >= 4.0 AVM Fritz PCI driver was moved to a separate layer 1
|
|
driver called "ifpi".
|
|
|
|
- the sppp subsystem was integrated into the i4bisppp/isp driver. There
|
|
is no need to include something like "option sppp" into your kernel
|
|
config file anymore. The spppcontrol utility is no longer usable to
|
|
configure the i4bisppp/isp driver, instead use the new ispppcontrol
|
|
utility!
|
|
|
|
- FreeBSD >= 4.0: "iwic" driver for Winbond PCI ISDN chipset (W6692)
|
|
added, used i.e. in ASUSCOM P-IN100-ST-D and Dynalink IS64PPH.
|
|

|
|
|
|
- ispppcontrol now has a new option of setting the LCP timeout value
|
|
|
|
- add directory mpd which contains docs and files on howto interface
|
|
i4b by using the netgraph subsystem to the multilink ppp daemon, mpd.
|
|
|

- add i4bing, a raw HDLC B-channel interface to the NetGraph subsystem
|
|
|
|
- add a V.21 modem emulator written by Poul-Henning Kamp
|
|
|
|
- a new system configuration keyword "extcallattr" was added to isdnd
|
|
which allows to configure the display of the extended caller
|
|
attributes "screening indicator" and "presentation indicator" in
|
|
isdnd's log file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
beta release 0.90
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- the following cards are no longer supported for FreeBSD 4.0 and up:
|
|
|
|
AVM Fritz!Card PnP
|
|
AVM Fritz!Card PCMCIA
|
|
Dynalink IS64PH
|
|
ITK ix1 Micro
|
|
USRobotics Sportster ISDN TA intern
|
|
|
|
The AVM cards, the USR card and perhaps one of the ITK cards are likely
|
|
to be resurrected in the future, we just ran out of time, docs and/or
|
|
into programming problems for this release.
|
|
|
|
- the rbch driver was enhanced to support the generation of accounting
|
|
information in HDLC mode. The bytecount and bps fields in isdnd
|
|
fullscreen mode now show meaningful information.
|
|
|
|
- most of the layer1 drivers have been rewritten to support the new bus
|
|
and driver architecture for FreeBSD 4.0.
|
|
|
|
- the ipr interfaces now support logging of some of the first ip packets
|
|
of a new connection and displaying them in the isdnd logs. To enable
|
|
this, add a line like: "options IPR_LOG=32" to your kernel config
|
|
file. The parameter to IPR_LOG specifies the number of packets to be
|
|
logged.
|
|
|
|
- support for FreeBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE has been removed.
|
|
The last beta release which supports this OS versions is i4b-0.83.
|
|
|
|
- isdnd now recognizes two new keywords in the system section, mailto
|
|
and mailer. mailer is used to configure a mail program and is typically
|
|
set to /usr/bin/mail and mailto is set to the address of the isdnd
|
|
administrator. If both are set and a fatal error inside isdnd
|
|
happenes, mail is sent to the address in mailto with the error
|
|
message before isdnd terminates.
|
|
|
|
- isdnd.rc now has an optional new "controller" section. This will be
|
|
used to specify different D-channel protocols in the future. It looks
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
controller
|
|
protocol = dss1 # dss1 (default) or d64s (leased line)
|
|
|
|
Please note that leased line support (d64s) is NOT yet functional!
|
|
|
|
- isdnmonitor is now able to be used like isdnd in fullscreen mode from
|
|
a remote machine.
