Hi,

The only way offered so far is the incremental patch way.

The problem is that I don't have time to turn all of my changes into an 
incremental approach. It is too time consuming. Anyway there will be several 
hundred incremental patches, and I doubt that Hellmuth does ever have time to 
review that.

Regarding the subject of ISDN: The hardware interface that ISDN uses might be 
old-fashioned and slow, but the theory of setting up and tearing down calls 
is not oldfashioned. I would say that not knowing ISDN in the phone business 
is like going to church without having read the Bible.

The current status of my ISDN project is that the code is stable and many 
people use it.

Outstanding issues so far:

- Improve the Echo Canceller which now uses integer FFT.
- Get rid of some macros.
- Style the code.

I suspect this will be finished some time after Christmas, because I'm very 
busy with my USB project at the moment. It would be nice to have my ISDN code 
in the FreeBSD tree, but I think that must wait until I have finished my USB 
stuff. Maybe we should continue this discussion after Christmas?
