<para>FreeBSD's ISDN implementation supports only the DSS1/Q.931
|
||||
(or Euro-ISDN) standard using passive cards. Starting with
|
||||
FreeBSD 4.4, some active cards are supported where the firmware
|
||||
also supports other signalling protocols; this also includes the
|
||||
first supported Primary Rate (PRI) ISDN card.</para>
|

<para>Isdn4bsd allows you to connect to other ISDN routers using either
|

IP over raw HDLC or by using synchronous PPP. A telephone answering

machine application is also available.</para>
|

<para><application>Isdn4bsd</application> allows you to connect
|

to other ISDN routers using either IP over raw HDLC or by using
|

synchronous PPP: either by using kernel PPP with isppp, a
|
||||
modified sppp driver, or by using userland &man.ppp.8;. By using
|
||||
userland &man.ppp.8;, channel bonding of two or more ISDN
|
||||
B-channels is possible. A telephone answering machine
|
||||
application is also available as well as many utilities such as
|
||||
a software 300 Baud modem.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Many ISDN PC cards are supported, mostly the ones with a Siemens
|
||||
ISDN chipset (ISAC/HSCX), support for other chipsets (from Motorola,
|

Cologne Chip Designs) is currently under development. For an
|
||||
up-to-date list of supported cards, please have a look at the <ulink

|

<para>The passive ISDN cards supported are mostly the ones with

the Infineon (formerly Siemens) ISAC/HSCX/IPAC ISDN chipsets,

but also ISDN cards with chips from Cologne Chip (ISA bus only),
|
||||
PCI cards with Winbond W6692 chips, some cards with the
|

Tiger300/320/ISAC chipset combinations and some vendor specific

chipset based cards such as the AVM Fritz!Card PCI V.1.0 and the

AVM Fritz!Card PnP.</para>
