I've been using NetBSD as an ISDN router for about ... four years? -- I
really can't tell, but it doesn't matter anyway. The point is that with
I4B (stable) ISDN support for NetBSD is available for quite some years
now. What I actually mean is that just because something isn't installed
by default, is not part of the base NetBSD system, is not part of PkgSrc
it doesn't mean that it's impossible to do with NetBSD. At least regarding
I4B I can say that integrating ISDN support into my system with was quite
easy.
