Just to get this right: the unit number is used in every layer-to-layer communication call and is a very basic part of the design of the whole isdn4bsd stack from the userland down to the hardware. Changing this fundamental design concept will produce a major workload which i'm not able to handle, so if anyone wants to make this change, thats fine with me as long as he takes the workload to get i4b into a shape (regarding the way the code is written, documented and with the stability of at least the current code) it has now. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe We all live in a yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine ...
