I'm new to * and telephony and while going through all 3000 messages of
the list I came across your message. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll
definitely give it a try once I have found that d-link DMI-128+ card in
the Netherlands. Support in * for ISDN phones via this solution is most
welcome to me. I really like to continue to enjoy $600 worth of ISDN
phones in my house :) Add * to the equation and I will be one happy
camper.

Cheers,
