Hi folks! I'm new to this list (and of course new with i4b - there's a lot of stuff left for me to learn about). I've installed i4b a few weeks ago using FreeBSD 4.7-stable. I was getting it to work successfully. I guess my kind of questions has been asked several times here at the list (but I was unable to get an answer from the mailing archives). To not have anybody bored here with in detail questions (same old boring newbie questions, isn't it? *s*) I'm wondering if someone might be able to give me a pointer or two (really appreciated!!) for some things (instead of creating a time consuming message - but if somebody takes the time, it's also appreciated). 1) I've been able to setup a PPP dial-out using userland PPP but that's not my preference. I would like to get it working using kernel PPP(d) or using the isp? network interfaces (as I suspect a userland PPP to work slower than the isp drivers). Using kernel PPP as far as I understand I'm unable to set the number to dial anywhere but in the isdnd.rc file (using userland PPP I'm using the command 'set phone 12345' to set the number to be dialed) - using kernel PPP I have to configure this number in isdnd.rc and can't change it on the fly, am I wrong?? Has anybody have an example on how to use kernel PPP with i4b or isn't kernel PPP with i4b possible at all?? 2) Is someone able to give me a good pointer on how to debug the authentication using the isp? network interfaces? I know it's boring to investigate someone else's debug logs so I would like to do it but my knowledge is far away from being of any use for that. I've already tried to debug but again, I'm missing something.

Maybe my problem is also somewhat related to the routing information I'm trying to use. I'm using ifconfig ispX 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff to get the dynamic IP address from my ISP (this one is working) and later setting a default route to 0.0.0.1 - using an IP address of 10.1.1.1 for example as the gateway address also didn't work, so I'm still trying with 0.0.0.1. I just tried that because my ISP is using dynamic IP addresses and also I don't know the gateway address before dialing up. Any hints on how to debug this problem?? 3) No autodial: when using 'ifconfig .... -link1' i4b is in auto-dial (dial-on-demand) mode. What if I want to control this manually (no dial on demand)? Will I be able to specify '-link0' and set the interface up and down for dialing / disconnecting or what else has to be done to control dialing?? 4) Fax blues: I'm using a passive AVM Fritz!Card PCI. I was reading while not having a CAPI driver / subsystem, I won't have fax support (I know G3 is a lot a calculation and D/A operation while using digital devices). There's a driver i4bcapi for the B1, does this mean that when using a B1 one might have fax capabilities? If so, would the capi4hylafax (AVM) work under i4b? Has anybody tested that? I really need fax support and don't want to throw in a modem just for the faxing stuff, so I'm looking for alternatives. Does anybody here tried to get capi4linux (AVM) to work under bsd? Would it be possible to have a ported capi4linux and i4b on the same machine?? What are my options for faxing? Thanks to anyone who will take a few minutes to answer my questions!
