Description of Problem: Skipjack-2 with updates. In 'neat' I have marked 'Use channel bundling' when configuring my 'ISDN dialup configuration' -> advanced. When trying to activate the interface, only ippp0 is used, and only one channel. No interface ippp1 is configured. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-0.9.24-1 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit isdn-device -> advanced 2. check 'Use channel bundling'. 3. Try to activate the interface. Actual Results: Cant't find any way to use channel bundling with isdn. Expected Results: A possibility to use channel bundling, and some sort of interface to choose only one channel or both.
It's not a bug. When the required bandwidth exceeds the capacity for one IDSN B-channel (64kbps) a second (slave) channel is connected according to the MPPP protocol. When the traffic decreases below one channel capacity, the slave channel is disconnected.
So if I am downloading a big file with 2 channels, I have no possibility to use only one channel from 6-7 o'clock when I'm expecting a telephone from my son? Might not be a bug - but most people want to decide when to use one channel, and when to use both. This means they have to make their own isdn-scripts after all.
