It explains why that noise happened at shutdown (soft reset) time and I believe it's not so important any longer. I was trying to find a reason why my phone was blocked while bisdn was running. Normally I don't phone while my computer is rebooting from that 'BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET' motherboard :-) (which doesn't boot in either mode, probably time to replace it anyway since situations where you have to send someone into the cellar to push the reset button even if it's my wife or perhaps even more when it's my wife aren't joyful anyway :-> ) Now I tested the same setup (though with the Fritz card now since I'm not finally sure whether my creatix is OK) and I find that my ISDN phone works as it should in parallel with i4b being active. > > Ciao, > Wolfgang > -- > ws@TooLs.DE (Wolfgang Solfrank, TooLs GmbH) +49-228-985800 > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message -- Chris Christoph P.
