Or better yet, somebody should give him ssh access to a machine that's connected to a real ISDN line and has a Teles card in it... With $499 PC's for sale, that'd probably be cheaper :-)
Take volume IP internet access charges and telephone costs ("hey, please write down the panic output and press reset ....") into account and you'll end up with something horrible expensive for that solution - phk's idea is much cheaper, easier and faster (also, such a device is just needed for the development time, after that it may go back to where it came from. Debugging should be no problem with that $499 setup).
Not to talk about that the one in the US will probably not pick up his phone anymore after 10 such calls at 3 o'clock in the morning US time.
Having written, bootstrapped and debugged the i4b stack, i am quite shure that developing a US stack remotely with such a setup makes no sense at all (for me).
I guess you're right. Having that reset button sure is handy :-)
But just for fun, I'd like to point out that once you got the hardware driver debugged and working as a netgraph node (i.e., just doing the Layer 1 part), then you could do all the Layer 2 and Layer 3 debugging in user space :-)
