Please take a look at /usr/share/examples/ppp, you can find there
some good examples.

First, you have to tell isdnd that you want to use the raw B channels:

isdnd.rc:

[...]
entry
name                    = userppp         # name for reference. This name will
                                        # be used in the logfile to identfy
                                        # this entry.
                                        # the network or telephone device
                                        # the data traffic should be routed to:
usrdevicename           = rbch           # ipr, isp, tel, rbch
usrdeviceunit           = 0             # unit number
                                        # the ISDN controller number to be
                                        # used for this entry:
isdncontroller          = 0             # contoller to use or -1 to use any
isdnchannel             = -1            # channel (1/2) to use or 0 or -1 for any
[...]

Please read the isdn4bsd documentation if you don't know what to do,
or ask clever people :)


In ppp.conf, you should use

set device = /dev/i4brbch0 /dev/i4brbch1

This uses both B channels (only one of them by default; this is the preferred
method if the line is used by other telephones, etc.)

If you want multilink PPP, try something like this:

 # Multilink mode please
 set mrru 1500
 # Two new links
 clone 1,2
 # And get rid of the old one with the crusty name
 link deflink rm
 # Automatically manage the second link
 link * set mode auto
 set autoload 10 100 30

And again, please take a look at /usr/share/examples/ppp.conf.isdn and
ppp.conf.sample


> Do I have to start ppp like before:
>   ppp -auto -nat myisp-isdn
>

Please start isdnd first, then PPP.

You should use rc.conf to start isdnd & ppp:

ppp_enable="yes"
ppp_profile="myisdn"
# default settings are: ppp_nat="yes" and ppp_mode="auto"

isdn_enable="yes"
isdn_fsdev="no"        #or a terminal name if you need for eg /dev/ttyva

Good luck with i4b!
