actually, we need all the things you mention :) Documentation, testers,
etc.

I'd say that our biggest need right now is documentation. The telcos
in Europe implemented ISDN in accord with the ISTEC standards. But
the Americans (of which I'm one, so don't flame me) typically went
their own way and ignored the rest of the world. So we need docs that
allow us to identify how the US standards differ from the ISTEC stuff
so that we can put in support for them.

Once that's done we need someone to test it, of course. I guess you're
volunteering ?

we've already had a few volunteers to work on beating isdn4bsd into
shape for the North American market, but they somehow always
disappeared without a trace.
