14. Mailing Lists/News

14.1 What mailing lists are there?

Two mailing lists exclusively concern themselves with isdn4linux:

14.2 How do I ask questions on the mailing lists?

The better the question, the better the answer! Write clearly. Noone reads an eternally long text to find out what the question is.

First make sure that the solution hasn't already been written. It's unfair to others and a waste of time when you could have looked up and read the answer yourself. See Links and look for a solution.

At http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml you can search the newsgroup de.alt.comm.isdn4linux for key words to see whether your problem has been recently discussed and solved.

Give your distribution and the appropriate version numbers (e.g. kernel, HiSax). Also explain what you have already tried.

Give exact error messages, e.g. from /var/log/messages. Noone can begin to help with (wrongly) self-interpreted messages.

14.3 How do I give assistance on the mailing list?

As often and as well as possible :-)
