Well, you have to send some init string to your terminal adaptor
(that's how an 'external ISDN device' is called). It sets various
line properties: sync/async, data rate, etc.
If you have drivers for Windows, check the initialization string
they use.
Other than that - no kernel modules or anything like that is
needed. Oh - and you use the standard ppp daemon not the synchronous
pppd that internal ISDN adaptors need.
Last advice: setting the correct parameters might be difficult and
depends, of course, on the ISP configuration. Some POPs (=telephone
numbers) may be configured differently. We had to connect to
Bezeqint once and never could make it work with one of their numbers
(6400000. Only 136363 worked. Go figure...)
