Prior to that, it has + to preset some of the fields of isdn_if. The LL sets the rest of + the fields. All further communication is done via callbacks using + the function-pointers defined in isdn_if. + + Changes/Version numbering: + + During development of the ISDN subsystem, several changes have been + made to the interface. Before it went into kernel, the package + had a unique version number. The last version, distributed separately + was 0.7.4. When the subsystem went into kernel, every functional unit + got a separate version number. These numbers are shown at initialization, + separated by slashes: + + c.c/t.t/n.n/p.p/a.a/v.v + + where + + c.c is the revision of the common code. + t.t is the revision of the tty related code. + n.n is the revision of the network related code. + p.p is the revision of the ppp related code. + a.a is the revision of the audio related code. + v.v is the revision of the V.110 related code. + + Changes in this document are marked with '***CHANGEx' where x representing + the version number. If that number starts with 0, it refers to the old, + separately distributed package. If it starts with one of the letters + above, it refers to the revision of the corresponding module. + ***CHANGEIx refers to the revision number of the isdnif.h + +1. Description of the fields of isdn_if: + + int channels; + + This field has to be set by the HL-driver to the number of channels + supported prior to calling register_isdn().
