Re: flexfax: any chance for using ISDN ?

[Andreas Busse <ab@ivm.net>]

Hi Dirk,

thanks for your answer. Unfortunally this does not solve
my problems. What I'm dreaming of is a solution that
eleminates *any* external stuff like modems, ISDN Terminal
Adapters and A/B converters. A primary-rate E1/PRI interface
would be ideal, but I could also live with a couple of
basic rate S0 interfaces. In so far, I would be interested
in the AVM B1 solution. Where can I find more information?

Cheers,
Andy
