[...] sounds good. I dont need to allow users dial in, i only need ISDN as a fallback connection, that i can still reach the computer far away if the eth net access has fallen out for some reason. > If you like, I can tar up my scripts and send them > to you.

Siutation: at the moment both computers stand here, but one of them will be soon moved to another country. For testing their isdn cards are connected with extension numbers 9905 and 9907. 9905 will stay here in the future, and has to reach the other computer. Up to now what i reached, that i can call in from any telephone to the target computer, for example from my work-phone, where my phone extension is 342, i dial the target computer's extension isdn_net: call from 342,1,0 -> 9907 isdn_net: Service-Indicator not 7, ignored isdn_tty: call from 342 -> 9907 ignored when i try to dial with isdnctrl from 9905: inet:/etc# isdnctrl dial isdn0 Dialing of isdn0 triggered in the /var/log/isdn/isndlog stands: Feb 05 13:13:45 * tei 66 calling with '9905' RING (Data) Feb 05 13:13:54 tei 66 calling with '9905' Normal call clearing (User) Feb 05 13:13:54 tei 66 calling with '9905' HANGUP on the target computer the log shows: Feb 05 13:13:35 * Call to tei 127 from on RING (Data) Feb 05 13:13:35 Call to tei 69 from on CONNECT (Data) Feb 05 13:13:35 Call to tei 69 from on INTERFACE isdn0 called by 9905 Feb 05 13:13:43 Call to tei 69 from on Normal call clearing (Private network serving local user) Feb 05 13:13:43 Call to tei 69 from on HANGUP ( 0:00:08) also they do see eachother, they connect, but they also sofort do a HANGUP, and this is what i dont like... what/how shall i fix it? TO tell the truth i dont know what should happen, but i await at least that a ping goes through... what should be the next step? lanc -- Vegh Karoly
