Hello! I own an Elsa PCC-16 ISDN card. It is a passive 16 bit ISA card, which is almost identical to the Elsa Quickstep 1000 ISA, except for the fact that the Quickstep supports PNP, while the PCC doesn't. The PCC is the direct predecessor of the Quickstep card. I tried to make isdn4bsd work with my PCC-16 card using the settings for the Elsa Quickstep, but hard-wiring IRQ, Memory-Area etc. in the kernel config file, but when booting, the kernel always tells me that the isic0 device could not be found. I suspect that only very few changes to the code must be made in order to make the Quickstep driver work with the PCC-16. Hellmuth suggested that the isdn4linux code might be instructive, which supports the PCC as well as the Quickstep. Unfortunately, I don't have either the time or the insight into the i4b code to do it on my own. So is there anybody out there who already has patched isdn4bsd to work with the pcc-16, or anybody who might want to do the job? I would be available for testing things, or I could lend the card to the developer for the time he does the job. I could also consider donating it, if this is necessary. Before anybody jumps at this, please note that the last remaining stock of the PCC card (and the related PCF and PCF/pro, which have additional functionality but should also work with any PCC driver) have been sold out recently at www.elsa.com, so I don't think you can buy these models any more, though they probably have quite a large installed base.
