And doesn't that incidate a great _need_ to open up and EXPAND the ISDN base for both users and developers ?
Isn't this attitude of keeping the door closed the basis for most of the other ensuing problems for the "last 5 years", as Linus noted in his public message of frustration in dealing with the ISDN codebase and the people responisble for it ?
I suspect Linus's rage is just the tip of the iceberg !

I sell self-contained ISP boxes in Australia that absolutely rely on uptodate and usable ISDN code (no workie, no income = one more linux based business down the drain) and Karsten was kind enough to allow me access to both the CVS and the the i4ldeveloper list which is exploded locally and archived here (FWIW) ;
