Passive ISDN cards are dirt cheap over here, no second device is needed which consumes (more) power (than just a passive ISDN card in your box) and ISDN is a bit more than just doing IP over it here, something which is not possible at that extent with a TA or a router. And a passive ISDN card is _much_ more flexible than a router or TA ever could be: its much better suited to serve my play instinct ;-)
More flexible? Hm... I would be interested in hearing a detailed explanation for that. It will go nicely with my up-coming research on european ISDN hardware (its nice to have access to a manufacturer's lab resources). I switched over my entire operation to ISDN and I now have completely seamless voice/data integration. Seems pretty flexible to me.
Hopefully - and the code is already there - i4b will run with the existing PPP code, although i don't see the need: bonding two B-channels together does not make much sense here.
Why not? Again, a detailed explanation would be helpful, though I suspect I already know the answer--ISDN is extremely expensive in the particular state I reside in, and I use bonding only for really large data transfers. The costs of using ISDN for voice communications are bad enough without intentionally makeing it worse for myself.
On the other hand, from time to time someone from the US pops up, expresses interest in ISDN, tells he is doing something, disappears silently and was never heard again after some time; so what we are currently discussing, are we - as the european counterparts - discussing the third, fourth or even the fifth time.
Well, that would explain it. I would probably feel the same way under similar circumstances. My apoligies if I've ruffled any feathers.
