HiSax is a Linux hardware-level driver for passive ISDN cards with Siemens
chipset (ISAC_S 2085/2086/2186, HSCX SAB 82525). It is based on the Teles
driver from Jan den Ouden.

-----------------------------

http://www.stud.uni-wuppertal.de/~ea0141/pcmcia.html
for instructions.
+
+Appendix: Linux and ISDN-leased lines
+-------------------------------------
+
+Original from Juergen Quade, new version KKe.
+
+Attention NEW VERSION, the old leased line syntax won't work !!!
+
+You can use HiSax to connect your Linux-Box via an ISDN leased line
+to e.g. the Internet:
+
+1. Build a kernel which includes the HiSax driver either as a module
+ or as part of the kernel.
+ cd /usr/src/linux
+ make menuconfig
+ <ISDN subsystem - ISDN support -- HiSax>
+ make clean; make dep; make zImage; make modules; make modules_install
+2. Install the new kernel
+ cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /etc/kernel/linux.isdn
+ vi /etc/lilo.conf
+ <add new kernel in the bootable image section>
+ lilo
+3. in case the hisax driver is a "fixed" part of the kernel, configure
+ the driver with lilo:
+ vi /etc/lilo.conf
+ <add HiSax driver parameter in the global section (see below)>
+ lilo
+ Your lilo.conf _might_ look like the following:
+
+ # LILO configuration-file
+ # global section
+ # teles 16.0 on IRQ=5, MEM=0xd8000, PORT=0xd80
+ append="hisax=1,3,5,0xd8000,0xd80,HiSax"
+ # teles 16.3 (non pnp) on IRQ=15, PORT=0xd80
+ # append="hisax=3,3,5,0xd8000,0xd80,HiSax"
+ boot=/dev/sda
+ compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
+ linear
+ read-only
+ prompt
+ timeout=100
+ vga = normal # force sane state
+ # Linux bootable partition config begins
+ image = /etc/kernel/linux.isdn
+ root = /dev/sda1
+ label = linux.isdn
+ #
+ image = /etc/kernel/linux-2.0.30
+ root = /dev/sda1
+ label = linux.secure
+
+ In the line starting with "append" you have to adapt the parameters
+ according to your card (see above in this file)
+
+3. boot the new linux.isdn kernel
+4. start the ISDN subsystem:
+ a) load - if necessary - the modules (depends, whether you compiled
+ the ISDN driver as module or not)
+ According to the type of card you have to specify the necessary
+ driver parameter (irq, io, mem, type, protocol).
+ For the leased line the protocol is "3". See the table above for
+ the parameters, which you have to specify depending on your card.
+ b) configure i4l
+ /sbin/isdnctrl addif isdn0
+ # EAZ 1 -- B1 channel 2 --B2 channel
+ /sbin/isdnctrl eaz isdn0 1
+ /sbin/isdnctrl secure isdn0 on
+ /sbin/isdnctrl huptimeout isdn0 0
+ /sbin/isdnctrl l2_prot isdn0 hdlc
+ # Attention you must not set an outgoing number !!! This won't work !!!
+ # The incomming number is LEASED0 for the first card, LEASED1 for the
+ # second and so on.
+ /sbin/isdnctrl addphone isdn0 in LEASED0
+ # Here is no need to bind the channel.
+ c) in case the remote partner is a CISCO:
+ /sbin/isdnctrl encap isdn0 cisco-h
+ d) configure the interface
+ /sbin/ifconfig isdn0 ${LOCAL_IP} pointopoint ${REMOTE_IP}
+ e) set the routes
+ /sbin/route add -host ${REMOTE_IP} isdn0
+ /sbin/route add default gw ${REMOTE_IP}
+ f) switch the card into leased mode for each used B-channel
+ /sbin/hisaxctrl HiSax 5 1
+
+Remarks:
+a) If you have a CISCO don't forget to switch off the KEEP ALIVE option!
+b) Use state of the art isdn4k-utils
+
