yes that is correct.
Now i try to get my ISDN-PBX running too.

we Hans and myself tried the fritz card, but it doesn't work well,
sound quality is more than bad. I bought my HFC-S cards at ebay for 3
EUR+shipping, is under 10 EUR.

hm, good question. I have a ISDN phone with powersupply, but I need a
NTBA for Powersupply and I plugged the powersupply to my external ntba
too.
It seems, that the isdn phone is not powering the bus only the phone.
But try it, without powersupply i cannot here anything one the phone
with powersupply everthing works fine.

I should say, easily try it.


Best regards,
