[gentoo-user] External ISDN modem

[Grant]

Has anyone used an external ISDN modem with Gentoo?  I see there are a
couple articles about setting up ISDN but they seem to be for internal
cards.  This device uses USB, ethernet, or serial.  Just wondering if
it might be a big task or not.

I used a 3com ISDN modem for net and voice for a while. It had an ethernet connection and a USB. I used the ethernet port to connect to my gentoo box. It was just easier.

Yep. I used USR Courier IModems (both internal and external) to run a 
BBS for a few years. Originally, I used OS/2 but I switched to Gentoo 
Linux eventually.

The IModems were serial only but trivial to set up - exactly the same as 
any serial modem. Given your options, I would almost certainly go for 
ethernet. Whatever you choose, I can't see huge problems - more trial 
and error. ;)
