[Sheflug] Wierdness getting ISDN configured.

Hi All.

I'm trying to get an ISDN connection configured, probably the most
straightforward info I've found is:

http://www.one.btinternet.co.uk/isdnfaq/isdnfaq.htm

I can't even get past the first bit...

The kernel has HiSax and the relevant card installed.
I've installed the isdnutils-base and ipppd packages.

Suggestions, anyone?

Cheers.

Baz.
