After a lot of rumours about the product availability it really looks
like ISDNPM 3.0 is ready to buy now! For those of you who don't know
it, ISDNPM is a very nice way to connect to the internet if you have
an ISDN-Adapter with CAPI 1.1 or NEW: CAPI 2.0 driver.

Unfortunately there is no way so far to buy this product online but
maybe this will change if more people are interested in it.

If you are interested in ISDNPM I recommend you to subscribe to the
mailinglist at Egroups: http://www.egroups.com/group/isdnpm. Note
that there are "just" users on this list, as far as I know no
developers of ISDNPM. It's a german group but I'm sure they will also
support you if you speak english :-)

I have nothing to do with ISDNPM, I just post this message because
other people might be interested in this great product. Note that I
just translated the features from a german posting in a newsgroup.
Maybe the translation is not always correct, I'm sorry about that ;-)

Some of the new features:

CAPI-Version:
- CAPI 2.0 or CAPI 1.1 support
- IDI-Interface (Diehl)

ISDN-Cards:
- you can connect up to 8 ISDN-Cards  with ISDNPM

COM-Ports:
- ISDN can use up to 4 serial ports for modem connection.

NDIS-Interface
- beside the 'sl0' Interface ISDNPM can be used over a LAN-Interface.
This simplifies the use of NETBIOS over TCP/IP

PPP over Ethernet:
- for the use of TDSL ISDNPM can connect to this interface as well
over a protocol device driver.

Client/Server:
ISDNPM is also a very good choice as a dialin server.

Protocols:
Beside the 'old' protocols like HDLC, X75 and SLIP ISDNPM also
supports PPP with the following features:
- SYNCHRON (ISDN), ASYNCHRON (Modem)
- authentification using PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP as client and server
- authentification based on the ISDN-callerid
- Dialback client/server
- Multilink, which means dynamic channelbundling depending on the
network load
- several types of compression
- dynamic distribution of IP-Adresses out of a POOL
- declaration resp. interpretation of DNS-Adresses

Firewall:
You can define complex rules for each IP-connection. There are
filters for incoming packets, outgoing packets and for the control of
AUTODIAL

The filter is able to analyze the following information:
- IP-Source, IP-Destination
- Protocoll
- Source-Port, Destination-Port
- ICMP-Type
- TCP-Flags
- Content of data
- date/time (work in progress)

Masquerading/NAT:
For sure ISDNPM also supports IP-Masquerading and Network Adress
Translation which makes it possible to connect several computers to
the internet with just one IP-Adress.

Accounting:
ISDNPM is able to create a detailed report of IP-Traffic. It saves
detailled information of each connection in a LOG-File

Trace:
There are a lot of information available for analyzing connection
problems

Controlling:
Beside manual control it's possible to control ISDNPM over a PIPE and
a TCP-Socket.

Registration of ISDNPM 3.0 costs 60DM (Deutsche Mark), because the
price is very low it's not possible to buy an update of an old
version.
