Hands up anyone that has: - a PCBIT ISDN-card ("manufactured in Portugal by Octal", according to its Kconfig entry); - a working X86 machine with ISA; - a working ISDN line; - and, say, an ISP picking up the stuff you send down that ISDN line at the other end; - and cares how 2.6.32 (and higher) runs that setup. [Crickets.] Besides, it is, apparently, an I4L driver. (Though there's a CAPI part too. I need to check how that fits into the picture.) I4L is deprecated for ten years now (or is it even longer?). Perhaps pcbit, and the other I4L drivers, should be (finally) tossed out? That was discussed last year too, but nothing really was decided. Paul Bolle
