Roadmap of isdn4bsd as integrated into FreeBSD ============================================== $FreeBSD: src/share/examples/isdn/ROADMAP,v 1.2.2.2 2002/05/22 11:20:39 hm Exp $ $DragonFly: src/share/examples/isdn/ROADMAP,v 1.2 2003/06/17 04:36:57 dillon Exp $ last edit-date: [Tue May 21 13:51:57 2002] 1. Documentation --------------------- The i4b handbook which describes the setup and configuration of isdn4bsd under FreeBSD in detail can be found at http://people.freebsd.org/~hm/ The i4b homepage is http://www.freebsd-support.de/i4b/ The command "apropos isdn" will list all manpages available for isdn4bsd. Two more manual pages of interest to syncronous PPP over ISDN users are the pages for sppp and spppcontrol. Under directory /usr/share/examples/isdn, you will find: FAQ - isdn4bsd Frequently Asked Questions KERNEL - kernel config(8) file fragment to add ISDN support Overview - short technical overview (outdated) README - the original isdn4bsd README file ROADMAP - this file ReleaseNotes - list of major changes Resources - where to get more information about ISDN SupportedCards - list of supported ISDN cards ThankYou - contributors to isdn4bsd contrib - contributed examples and code v21 - V.21 (300Bd) soft modem emulator 2. Configuration --------------------- Configuration of the isdn4bsd package consists of: - configuring a kernel suitable for running isdn4bsd. All kernel configuration statements for isdn4bsd can be found in the file /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES - another way to get started is taking the GENERIC configuration file and appending the KERNEL file mentioned above. - configuring the network interfaces iprX and/or ispX; the former are used for "IP over raw HDLC" and the latter are used for "sync PPP over ISDN". To configure the ipr- interfaces, read the output of "man i4bipr", to configure the isp-interfaces, read the output of "man i4bisppp", "man sppp" and "man spppcontrol" carefully. - writing a configuration file /etc/isdn/isdnd.rc for the isdn daemon isdnd(8) which is responsible for the ISDN call control mechanisms such as: dial on demand, dial retry, dial recovery, timeout and short hold operation. A sample (!) file can be found in /etc/isdn. Please read the output of "man isdnd" and "man isdnd.rc" carefully. 2. Userland programs ------------------------- The userland programs can be found in the sourcetree under /usr/src/usr.sbin/i4b and get installed under /usr/sbin. Isdntest will not be installed by default. Isdnphone is experimental and may not run with your soundcard. 3. Kernel part ------------------- The kernel part of isdn4bsd can be found at /usr/src/sys/i4b. 4. Answering machine messages ---------------------------------- Messages to be used by the answering machine can be found in /usr/share/isdn, you'll find the numbers 0 to 9, a beep and a short announcement message here.
