| 11 | ISDN ("Integrated Services Digital Networks", called RNIS in France) |
| 12 | is a special type of fully digital telephone service; it's mostly |
| 13 | used to connect to your Internet service provider (with SLIP or |
| 14 | PPP). The main advantage is that the speed is higher than ordinary |
| 15 | modem/telephone connections, and that you can have voice |
| 16 | conversations while downloading stuff. It only works if your |
| 17 | computer is equipped with an ISDN card and both you and your service |
| 18 | provider purchased an ISDN line from the phone company. For |
| 19 | details, read <http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~dank/isdn/> on the WWW. |

| 30 | This driver allows you to use an ISDN-card for networking |
| 31 | connections and as dialin/out device. The isdn-tty's have a built |
| 32 | in AT-compatible modem emulator. Network devices support autodial, |
| 33 | channel-bundling, callback and caller-authentication without having |
| 34 | a daemon running. A reduced T.70 protocol is supported with tty's |
| 35 | suitable for German BTX. On D-Channel, the protocols EDSS1 |
| 36 | (Euro-ISDN) and 1TR6 (German style) are supported. See |
| 37 | <file:Documentation/isdn/README> for more information. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ISDN support in the linux kernel is moving towards a new API, |
| 40 | called CAPI (Common ISDN Application Programming Interface). |
| 41 | Therefore the old ISDN4Linux layer is becoming obsolete. It is |
| 42 | still usable, though, if you select this option. |

| 57 | This provides the CAPI (Common ISDN Application Programming |
| 58 | Interface, a standard making it easy for programs to access ISDN |
| 59 | hardware, see <http://www.capi.org/>. This is needed for AVM's set |
| 60 | of active ISDN controllers like B1, T1, M1. |
