1. What is it good for?

As RedHat does not seem to care for ISDN I wrote a few scripts on my own with a little bit of inspiration by isdn4net and the SuSE-startup-files. There is a spanish version [1] of this document available.

This is tested for RH 5.2 in combination with PAP-PPP, dynamic IP and an Elsa QuikStep 1000 ISA-card (only hisax is tested with these scripts right now, but it should be no problem to adjust them easily to other hardware).

Note

I now have tested the package with the "german" Halloween III which is a descendant of RH6.0. Feel free to comment and change things, as though I am nearly perfect there might nonetheless be space for corrections and improvements ;-). Take care to look into ChangeLog as well, some rewrite might have been done in configuration as well. Of course have a look at the Disclaimer-section.

Notes

A little outdated though.
