only used in connection with certain telephone systems.
• In case you got a static IP-address from your provider: local and remote IP-addresses
for the dial-in server and the gateway.
• The ISDN configuration module already contains the data for major ISPs in some
countries. If your ISP is not listed, you will need to know how name resolving

For configuration details, refer to Section "ISDN" (Chapter 17, Basic Networking,
↑Administration Guide).
