Who wants IDSN (It Still Does Nothing) ?
The last company I worked for has developed an ISDN PABX.
None of the first 15 customers did order ISDN.
That's the first thing, the second is, that almost nobody uses OS/2.

What is the point in having an ISDN application running on a system nobody
has ?
There is almost no commercial interest in such a thing, right ?

BTW:
	Fa. Stollmann (Hamburg) sells expensive ISDN-boards for PC's
	dto. Fa. AVM (Berlin) and Fa. Sotec (less cheaper than Stollmann
	but comparable otherwise) near Stuttgart.
	If you want details, e-mail me.
	They are not just selling hardware (no end-user needs
	just hardware) but also applications and device-drivers
	for DOS (which IS used)  by a lot of people) and perhaps
	UNIX (Stollmann ?).

I don't know.
