        I tought about Linux as ISDN Gateway too. Most of the users
        will use a passive ISDN card -> the cpu has to mess around with 
        everything. I think it would kill the performance of the machine
        if you're using a passive card. 

        I have an active card here.. I think that one should have       
        a much better performance. Yes, I'm thinking about developing
        a driver for Stollmann tina-d ISDN boards.

        Any ideas about that performance stuff?.. you have to
        deal with at least 8KBit/s. If you're using both B channels
        you're already close to 16KBit/s.... plus a lot of protocol 
        overhead.

        Or am I wrong about that? Afraid of something where there
        isn't anything to be afraid of ?
