Date: Sun, 30 Apr 1995 08:04:54 -0700 Message-ID: <17593.799254294@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The current authors of the ISDN code are coming slowly back to life here (after I poked them with a sharp stick :-) and may be willing to serve as a semi-reluctant focal point for other work, assuming that anyone else is truly interested in the stuff currently in /sys/gnu/isdn & /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/isdn. Is anyone truly interested in this stuff? I'd like to see the ISDN code either progress significantly in the next 6 months or be entirely replaced by something that *is* progressing! I know that the Linux folks are happily ISDN'ing with some other code that may or may not be worth looking at, but we need to turn this into a more active project or move on with something else, and it's my preference that we do something with the current code if at all possible. Any takers? The guy coordinating for the ISDN stuff is Juergen Krause and he'd currently like to know where to get the US-ISDN standards. He says he needs the descriptions for Level 2 and 3 of the D-channel protocols. Please! Get in touch with him.. He says that he's not received any offers of help or code, and this is sad. I brought this stuff into the tree in the first place in hopes that it would form the nucleus of a real ISDN project, but results so far have been disappointing to say the least. If something doesn't happen with this stuff in the next 6 months then I'm going to remove it from the tree as obviously "dead code" - we have too much dead code in our tree as it is already! :-( Thanks!
