That's probably not a good example. Why?
ISDN cause codes are generic and can be found elsewhere. Go to
www.infosee.com and type ISDN CAUSE CODE LIST, and you will be flooded
with hundreds of locations of detailed lists and descriptions.

I like that Livingston remains Livingston specific. I suppose it WOULD be
a good idea to post information relating to isdn even tho it would be
redundant to what already out on the net. That way you dont have to search
for it. Or at least post the url's. (I think im gonna h'url if I have to
say URL again)

Maybe so, but as mentioned before, cause codes are cause codes whether it
be portmanglers, Assend, Motorola Buttsniffers, Courier Eye-Modems, USR
TOTAL Out of Controls, Crisco's, etc... I could go on, but I wont in fear
that I might be banned from the list.

What I would like to see more of is interoperating tech notes on how to
get the pm 3 to work with ________, but they have that covered pretty
well.

I have some good info on getting 25's and 50's to talk to OR-U's and 5 BRI
cards, BTW, in both the remote AND host configurations.
