Most important ISDN-related packages and utilities

Note that for an external ISDN adapter, you do NOT need this package or any of the related ones. This is only for use with an internal ISDN adapter. Choosing this package will select the most frequently used components.

The current version of isdnutils is split up into component packages, to make it easier to fine-tune what is installed; hardly anyone needs everything. However, it's not possible to automatically select what is needed This is a dependency package to ease installation, and choosing this selects the most important new packages. After installation, this package can be safely removed.

 isdnutils-base   basic set of ISDN utilities.
 ipppd            for networking over ISDN with syncPPP.
