| 10 | ISDN ("Integrated Services Digital Networks", called RNIS in France) |
| 11 | is a special type of fully digital telephone service; it's mostly |
| 12 | used to connect to your Internet service provider (with SLIP or |
| 13 | PPP). The main advantage is that the speed is higher than ordinary |
| 14 | modem/telephone connections, and that you can have voice |
| 15 | conversations while downloading stuff. It only works if your |
| 16 | computer is equipped with an ISDN card and both you and your service |
| 17 | provider purchased an ISDN line from the phone company. For |
| 18 | details, read <http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~dank/isdn/> on the WWW. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Select this option if you want your kernel to support ISDN. |

Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | connections and as dialin/out device. The isdn-tty's have a built |
| 31 | in AT-compatible modem emulator. Network devices support autodial, |
| 32 | channel-bundling, callback and caller-authentication without having |
| 33 | a daemon running. A reduced T.70 protocol is supported with tty's |
| 34 | suitable for German BTX. On D-Channel, the protocols EDSS1 |
| 35 | (Euro-ISDN) and 1TR6 (German style) are supported. See |
| 36 | <file:Documentation/isdn/README> for more information. |

| 38 | ISDN support in the linux kernel is moving towards a new API, |
| 39 | called CAPI (Common ISDN Application Programming Interface). |
Tilman Schmidt | 5bf1ded | 2007-06-01 00:46:54 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 40 | Therefore the old ISDN4Linux layer will eventually become obsolete. |
| 41 | It is still available, though, for use with adapters that are not |
| 42 | supported by the new CAPI subsystem yet. |
