Since a couple of days I have finally gotten ISDN and managed
to get i4b running (Teles 16.3 card) in a way that I was able
to connect to an ISP (NetCologne).
I must say that I am quite impressed with the complex i4b
package - *** thanks a lot, Hellmuth! ***
The sample configuration files helped me most, I used them
as a starting point and browsed the man pages according
to the configuration entries.
Without them, I would certainly have not succeeded.
IMHO, the package would benefit from a combined
quickstart / ISDN jargon document (or did I miss something
like this in the wealth of documentation? :-)
Now that the system runs somehow, I would like to improve
the configuration - these questions (some general, some
i4b specific) arose so far:
- What settings (/etc/hosts, /etc/resolve.conf ..) are
recommended for a stand-alone box with no
official/granted IP number and no domain name that
just connects to an ISP if some outbound connection needed?
Right now I use this construct for /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost myhost.my.domain
10.0.0.1 myhost.my.domain myhost
- Occasionally I want to use the second ISDN channel to
speed up transfers - is it possible to painlessly
add and remove the second channel while I am doing
some enormous data transfer (and will the current
transfer benefit from the 2nd channel?)
- From time to time I would like to have my network connection
not through my main ISP (using ppp) but having it through
a friend's system (using HDLC) - maybe even simultaneously -
anyone got a clever configuration scheme for this?
- My ISP uses a secondwise accounting and charges DM 0.02 to
0.04 per minute (minimum of 0.1 min). It seems I have not
configured the i4b accounting utility correctly - is it
ok to use 1 as 'charging unit' in this case, or how would
you setup the rates file?
Regards and many thanks,
Marc
