Hello,

For one of our projects we try to get the following stack of hard/software 
working together for a MS-DOS PC:

X-windows
---------
TCP/IP
---------
ISDN (The German 1TR6-protocol)

Until now we could not find an ISDN-card for the MS DOS PC (386 or 486) 
on which we could use standard TCP/IP software in order to use X-windows.
We are looking for a complete stack from German ISDN up to X-windows 
commercially available. However, if you have a better stack, but 
including ISDN and X-windows, please let me know!

Thanks in advance,

Menco Duursma

Well, the Clarkson collection of packet drivers has a Mitel Express ISDN
packet driver.  It acts like a SLIP driver.  The newest PC/TCP kernel from
FTP Software supports SLIP packet drivers.  That, and an X server that
uses the PC/TCP kernel (I'm pretty sure that one of them does, but I
don't know which one) should get you what you want.

That is, assuming the Mitel Express card can do 1TR6.

I am leaving the employ of Clarkson as of June 30.  Hopefully this email
address will remain.  If it doesn't, use nelson@gnu.ai.mit.edu.
