The "no source code" is most annoying. I don't want to install another kde/qt
libs tree just because of linker problems. KDE_1_1_BRANCH and HEAD is
enough.

That is another problem. You're right.

It was version 0.7.3 or something like that. But was not GPL. So it would be
essential that any developer which is involved in such a ISDN app (how to call
it ? konnekt ? ) doesn't look into the sources. We would have to develop
something quite independent. And I think we could do it even better. And we
certainly don't want to have a second Harmony Project.

My phone bill is horror anyway. :) Some of the tests could be done with
isdnloop. Maybe there are some developers out there which have access to an
internal S0 bus.  Anyone with ISDN knowledge out there? I'm just an ISDN
beginner and stubled over this so-called kisdn thingy - so it wouldn't be easy
to do it alone.
