 README file for the PCBIT-D Device Driver.

5
The PCBIT is a Euro ISDN adapter manufactured in Portugal by Octal and
6
developed in cooperation with Portugal Telecom and Inesc.
7
The driver interfaces with the standard kernel isdn facilities
8
originally developed by Fritz Elfert in the isdn4linux project.

10
The common versions of the pcbit board require a firmware that is
11
distributed (and copyrighted) by the manufacturer. To load this
12
firmware you need "pcbitctl" available on the standard isdn4k-utils
13
package or in the pcbit package available in:
14
 
15
ftp://ftp.di.fc.ul.pt/pub/systems/Linux/isdn

17
Known Limitations:
18
 
19
- The board reset proceeding is at the moment incorrect and will only
20
allow you to load the firmware after a hard reset.
21
 
22
- Only HDLC in B-channels is supported at the moment. There is now
23
current support to X.25 in B or D channels nor LAPD in B
24
channels. The main reason is that this two other protocol modes have,
25
to my knowledge, very little use. If you want to see them implemented
26
*do* send me a mail.
27
 
28
- The driver often triggers errors in the board that i and the
29
manufacturer believe to be caused by bugs in the firmware. The current
30
version includes several proceedings for error recovery that should
31
allow normal operation. Plans for the future include cooperation with
32
the manufacturer in order to solve this problems.

34
Information/hints/help can be obtained in the linux isdn
35
mailing list (isdn4linux@hub-wue.franken.de) or directly from me.
