future tech - OFF TOPIC



well, Id say that this is sliding way off topic so lets SUM UP.
(which means MITZINU, lets stop saying the same things again and again)

1) as of today i think the technology that offers the best connection
speed/price is ISDN. no providers mentioned.
2) there are many other technologies exist - cable modems through ADSL
and once made available will make competing technologies such as ISDN
cheaper. lets live and see.

lets leave the "which ISP gives the best performance", "who has the best
bandwidth/customers ratio", "who has the more T1's" and "who has a bigger
penis" (sorry)  out of this list.
its a real nice argument but has absolutely NOTHING to do with linux.
remember this is a LIST and many people are getting the mails.

3) and most important: Linux
ISDN - the ISDN4LINUX pack supports a growing variety of ISDN hardware.
the Hisax driver alone now supports 15 (16?) ISDN cards, among them quite
a few i saw our customers here in Israel have. the PnP ones need ISAPnP to
define their IRQ and IO ports for them. ISDN4Kernel offers dialing tools.
more to come once we get this working smoothly. Yaron - We'll try (no
obligation :) to organize a little ISDN corner for the page.
 
by the way, all ISDN development for linux is in germany for some reason
and the S.U.S.E distro handles it best. do they give out ISDN for free
in germany or something?

More to come.

I dont know ANYTHING about ADSL/Cable on linux - if any1 knows something -
fill us in :)
