Many thanks for answering.

As Jan has pointed out in his reply, ISDN is very timing sensitive, so an emulation (which is in user space) might not work at all. Furthermore, we don't have the resources to write such an emulation, and I doubt that somebody else will do it.

Fax via VOIP still does not work reliably, so there must be many people who need ISDN in virtualized guests. I am wondering how other people are dealing with that problem.

Regards,

Peter
