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 ?
