Question about ISDN configuration under Mandrake Linux

[sweetheart]

I am offline, and am using an internet terminal in Copenhagen, to ask
this question. My dream wish, is that someone can explain simply
quickly that i can read it. I have a bt internet ISDN card, and it
appears the kernel needs to be rebuilt every time a line is added, but
besides a mandrake script that is empty, there is no info i can find
to get back online. I love Linux indeed, but this offline thing is
a pain. Perhaps another version of Linux might be easier, if you
know one... becoming a unix sysadmin to get linux running is a
byproduct i'm less enthralled with. :-)

Thanks in advance. BTW, Copenhagen is lovely, and i attended a march
to save Christiana this past saturday... i'll post a photo if i
ever get back on line with linux. Christiania is a commune where i
chatted with several locals and had a smoke. They mint their own
currency with "50 kroner per man hour" written on the 1 wage coin.

The culture is the most first world and evolved liberalism for women
i have yet sampled in a world nation. What a brilliant culture.

1. I think you should seek help elsewhere.

I also use Mandrake, but ARS might give you an answer. I don't know.

2. well

Mandrake is notorious for the ISDN config.

What version of Mandrake exactly, what Kernel and what type of BT card (PCI / PCMCIA) ? What is the real manufacturer, as I doubt that BT makes ISDN cards?
