Well that's the same as buying cheap modems. It was not my intention to
buy a passive card but an active one.

Fine. So I suppose you do **not** need isdn4linux to use the USR and all
the nice futures (channel B coupling...) are set up by AT commands.
Has someone tried this card successfully for isdn and "analog" fax and
data
connections ?

Well at least this is clear, get your hands off from this boards if you
want more than just basic isdn operations.

BTW I also took a look at Eicon Diva Pro and Bewan Gazel Pro cards but
the specs on the websites are poor and I had no time yet to call.
Again if someone has tried this card please drop me a note about it.

Thanks for the help.
