II ISDN Interface
The ii packet is an ISDN interface for FreeBSD 1.x and FreeBSD 2.0.
This is a first release. It is an idea. It will - hopefully - change a lot.
It supports the EDSS1 and the 1TR6 ISDN interfaces.
EDSS1 is the "Euro-ISDN", 1TR6 is the soon obsolete german ISDN Interface.
Copyright: Its GNU Copyright see the File COPYRIGHT.
It contains a set of driver's:
Low level Drivers for Dr. Neuhaus NICCY 3008, 3009 and 5000 Cards.
An intermediate level isdn driver.
Some high level drivers for ip, tty, and telephone answering.
The ip driver is rather stable. It is used to connect to the Internet.
The tty driver is completely experimental. There are a few of them, as
with every version of *BSD there is a new tty interface.
The telephone answering is quite stable.
Some support programs:
Daemons to handle dialing and answering.
Programs to load the intelligent cards.
Debugging help.
Programs to listen to your answering machine with soundblaster.
What can you do with it:
You may connect to the Internet through TCP/IP and a service provider
supporting PPP or SLIP through ISDN.
You may build up your proper ISDN TCP/IP network.
You may use the tty interface to dial in or out.
You may have the Unix System answering your telephone.
The packet here includes only sources. It will compile with FreeBSD 1.x,
FreeBSD 2.1. and an old version of NetBSD 0.9,
Restrictions:
Only one interface card ( with 2 B-channels ) is supported.
In work:
Low level driver for teles S0/NICCY 1000. A prototype is expected to be
distributed around easter 95. Will not include X75 B-Channel support
nor any Level-3 Protocols for the B-Channels.
A complete Implementation of ip (PPP, VJ). (Might come with teles stuff)
Better error handling specially for the tty driver.
A real telephone answering machine and more telephone support.
FAX support.
Porting the system to Unix System V and SCO.
These versions will be commercial products.
Todo:
Documentation and a lot other stuff.
Rules:
We want the help of as many people as possible to develop the packet.
But if you develop something inside the packet or on top of the packet
you have to put the sources to the public domain or to GNU copyright. If
you distribute a binary packet on base of these sources you have to give
complete sources to your customer, the Internet community and us.
We charge for support. We want to be payed if you need support. We earn our
living as consultants. We want to develop the packet.
If you are a company or a service provider and want to use or distribute
the packet please contact one of us. We want and need your support.
Binaries and Support:
This distribution includes sources only. You will get no free support.
