3 ReleaseNotes for isdn4bsd last edit-date: [Sun Dec 16 16:15:14 2001]
4 ================================================================================
6 - made ELSA PCC16 attach correctly (again ?)
8 - fixed bug in CAPI support (patch from Juha-Matti Liukkonen <jml@cubical.fi>)
10 - add support written by Steve Looman for the Compaq Microcom 610 ISDN card
11 (also known as Compaq series PSB2222I).
14 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 - add experimental support to send messages via the keypad facility to the
17 PBX or exchange office. The messages - if supported - may be used to
18 configure and maintain optional services offered by the PBX or exchange
19 office such as call deflection mailbox services. Please consult the
20 nice documentation for the exchange you are connected to.
22 Currently keypad messages can be send by using the isdnphone utilities
23 "-k" switch on the command line. Don't forget to properly quote the
24 message in case it contains shell meta characters!
26 - add keyword "maxconnecttime" to isdnd to prevent a potential telco bill
27 desaster. Caution: use only in conjunction with budgets to limit the number
28 of dials per timeunit otherwise you will get endless redials and reconnects!
31 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
33 - CAPI interface driver and AVM B1/T1 driver added. Both were written and
34 contributed by Juha-Matti Liukkonen <jml@cubical.fi> of Cubical Solutions
35 Ltd, Finnland. To support this, two new keywords were added to isdnd.rc:
36 "firmware" to be used in the controller section and "clone" to be used
41 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
43 - it is now possible to mark an entry as valid for a specified day of week
44 and a specific time range only to take advantage of some new tariff models.
45 Please see the new keywords "valid" and "holidayfile" in isdnd.rc(5).
46 This feature is considered experimental, use at your own risk!
48 - keywords budget-callbacksfile and budget-calloutsfile added to isdnd's
49 entry section to write statistics information to a file
51 - a driver for the Dynalink IS64PH is now available for FreeBSD 4.x and up
55 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
57 - ITK ix1 micro ISA non-PnP card should now work for FreeBSD >= 4.0
59 - setting "dialretries = -1" in isdnd.rc gives an unlimited number
60 of dial retries for that entry.
62 - the ELSA PCFpro ISDN card should now work for FreeBSD >= 4.0
64 - added new keywords (patch from Stefan Esser) to configure isppp
65 from within isdnd.rc. Documented in isdnd.rc(5), grep for "ppp-"
67 - isppp VJ compression negotiation now run-time configurable using
68 keywords "enable-vj" / "disable-vj" with ispppcontrol
70 - added new keywords to specify "budgets" for outbound calls in isdnd
71 to limit the number of possible calls within a given time period.
72 Runtime budget information and statistics are available in the isdnd
73 fullscreen menu display.
75 - added new "ifpnp" AVM Fritz!Card PnP driver for FreeBSD >= 4.0
76 contributed by Udo Schweigert.
78 - added experimental hardware driver from Hans Petter Selasky for the
79 Teles 16.3c card based on the Cologne Chip Designs HFC-S 2BDS0 chip
81 notes for Teles 16.3c PnP and AcerISDN P10: For optimal performance:
82 -> please connect the card to the S0-bus before booting the computer.
83 -> do not change the cable you're using when first booted.
84 Other notes if the card does not work at all:
85 -> disconnect other isdn equipment on your S0-bus and
87 -> try changing the CLKDEL/stdel value for your card:
88 ../i4b/layer1-nb/ihfc/i4b_ihfc_pnp.c or
89 ../i4b/layer1/ihfc/i4b_ihfc_pnp.c
90 around line 100. The value can be in the range 0x0-0xf.
92 - the FreeBSD >= 4.0 AVM Fritz PCI driver was moved to a separate layer 1
95 - the sppp subsystem was integrated into the i4bisppp/isp driver. There
96 is no need to include something like "option sppp" into your kernel
97 config file anymore. The spppcontrol utility is no longer usable to
98 configure the i4bisppp/isp driver, instead use the new ispppcontrol
101 - FreeBSD >= 4.0: "iwic" driver for Winbond PCI ISDN chipset (W6692)
102 added, used i.e. in ASUSCOM P-IN100-ST-D and Dynalink IS64PPH.
104 - added more protocol decoding to isdntrace
106 - isntrace now adds a time/datestamp to the trace filename, signal USR1
107 behaviour has changed, see manpage.
109 - ispppcontrol now has a new option of setting the LCP timeout value
111 - add directory mpd which contains docs and files on howto interface
112 i4b by using the netgraph subsystem to the multilink ppp daemon, mpd.
114 - add i4bing, a raw HDLC B-channel interface to the NetGraph subsystem
116 - add a V.21 modem emulator written by Poul-Henning Kamp
118 - a new system configuration keyword "extcallattr" was added to isdnd
119 which allows to configure the display of the extended caller
120 attributes "screening indicator" and "presentation indicator" in
125 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
127 - the following cards are no longer supported for FreeBSD 4.0 and up:
130 AVM Fritz!Card PCMCIA
133 USRobotics Sportster ISDN TA intern
135 The AVM cards, the USR card and perhaps one of the ITK cards are likely
136 to be resurrected in the future, we just ran out of time, docs and/or
137 into programming problems for this release.
139 - the rbch driver was enhanced to support the generation of accounting
140 information in HDLC mode. The bytecount and bps fields in isdnd
141 fullscreen mode now show meaningful information.
143 - most of the layer1 drivers have been rewritten to support the new bus
144 and driver architecture for FreeBSD 4.0.
146 - the ipr interfaces now support logging of some of the first ip packets
147 of a new connection and displaying them in the isdnd logs. To enable
148 this, add a line like: "options IPR_LOG=32" to your kernel config
149 file. The parameter to IPR_LOG specifies the number of packets to be
152 - support for FreeBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE has been removed.
153 The last beta release which supports this OS versions is i4b-0.83.
155 - isdnd now recognizes two new keywords in the system section, mailto
156 and mailer. mailer is used to configure a mail program and is typically
157 set to /usr/bin/mail and mailto is set to the address of the isdnd
158 administrator. If both are set and a fatal error inside isdnd
159 happenes, mail is sent to the address in mailto with the error
160 message before isdnd terminates.
162 - isdnd.rc now has an optional new "controller" section. This will be
163 used to specify different D-channel protocols in the future. It looks
167 protocol = dss1 # dss1 (default) or d64s (leased line)
169 Please note that leased line support (d64s) is NOT yet functional!
171 - isdnmonitor is now able to be used like isdnd in fullscreen mode from
