This is true. It is very difficult, time consuming and expensive in terms
of being charged by the local PTT to write and debug code to decode this
type of messages (which i did partially to get AOCD and AOCE decoded) and
this is the cause isdn4bsd is not able to decode them.

More, i don't see any advantage i get if i would be able to decode those
messages (there are a few conditions, why CCBS - Completition of Call to
Busy Subscriber - is only possible between some selected - but growing -
number of users).

But - as usual - i'll happily accept diffs if someone likes to decode those
messages!

(btw: in case someone likes to know what they are, there is a web-based
 ISDN message decoder at 
 http://www.ch.engelschall.com/u/martin/webdecoder/webdecoder.cgi
 nice !)

These messages have either a global or dummy call reference, these type of
messages should not being displayed anymore by recent i4b versions (i don't
recall when i changed this).

No, see above.

No.

There are many, many features isdn4bsd has not the slightest idea of.
