I think that in part he was taking issue with my claim that by about
1000 packages, most users will have everything they need.  But this seems
to be getting confused with what the NetBSD OS can/could do, and with
what you can do to the system with some skill.

I'm sure that for some, ISDN is important, but still assume that it's
relatively obscure.  Maybe I'm wrong?


Thanks for pointing up the ease of integrating ISDN into pre-1.6 NetBSD
systems, though.  (^&
