Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

1 | The isdn diversion services are a supporting module working together with | ||
2 | the isdn4linux and the HiSax module for passive cards. | ||
3 | Active cards, TAs and cards using a own or other driver than the HiSax | ||
4 | module need to be adapted to the HL<->LL interface described in a separate | ||
5 | document. The diversion services may be used with all cards supported by | ||
6 | the HiSax driver. | ||

41 | 1. Features of the i4l diversion services | ||
42 | (Or what can the i4l diversion services do for me) | ||
43 | |||
44 | The i4l diversion services offers call forwarding and logging normally | ||
45 | only supported by isdn phones. Incoming calls may be diverted | ||
46 | unconditionally (CFU), when not reachable (CFNR) or on busy condition | ||
47 | (CFB). | ||
48 | The diversions may be invoked statically in the providers exchange | ||
49 | as normally done by isdn phones. In this case all incoming calls | ||
50 | with a special (or all) service identifiers are forwarded if the | ||
51 | forwarding reason is met. Activated static services may also be | ||
52 | interrogated (queried). | ||
53 | The i4l diversion services additionally offers a dynamic version of | ||
54 | call forwarding which is not preprogrammed inside the providers exchange | ||
55 | but dynamically activated by i4l. | ||
56 | In this case all incoming calls are checked by rules that may be | ||
57 | compared to the mechanism of ipfwadm or ipchains. If a given rule matches | ||
58 | the checking process is finished and the rule matching will be applied | ||
59 | to the call. | ||
60 | The rules include primary and secondary service identifiers, called | ||
61 | number and subaddress, callers number and subaddress and whether the rule | ||
62 | matches to all filtered calls or only those when all B-channel resources | ||
63 | are exhausted. | ||
64 | Actions that may be invoked by a rule are ignore, proceed, reject, | ||
65 | direct divert or delayed divert of a call. | ||
66 | All incoming calls matching a rule except the ignore rule a reported and | ||
67 | logged as ASCII via the proc filesystem (/proc/net/isdn/divert). If proceed | ||
68 | is selected the call will be held in a proceeding state (without ringing) | ||
69 | for a certain amount of time to let an external program or client decide | ||
70 | how to handle the call. | ||
71 | |||
72 | |||
73 | 2. Required hard- and software | ||
74 | |||
75 | For using the i4l diversion services the isdn line must be of a EURO/DSS1 | ||
76 | type. Additionally the i4l services only work together with the HiSax | ||
77 | driver for passive isdn cards. All HiSax supported cards may be used for | ||
78 | the diversion purposes. | ||
79 | The static diversion services require the provider having static services | ||
80 | CFU, CFNR, CFB activated on an MSN-line. The static services may not be | ||
81 | used on a point-to-point connection. Further the static services are only | ||
82 | available in some countries (for example germany). Countries requiring the | ||
83 | keypad protocol for activating static diversions (like the netherlands) are | ||
84 | not supported but may use the tty devices for this purpose. | ||
85 | The dynamic diversion services may be used in all countries if the provider | ||
86 | enables the feature CF (call forwarding). This should work on both MSN- and | ||
87 | point-to-point lines. | ||
88 | To add and delete rules the additional divertctrl program is needed. This | ||
89 | program is part of the isdn4kutils package. | ||
90 | |||
91 | 3. Compiling, installing and loading/unloading the module | ||
92 | Tracing calling and diversion information | ||
93 | |||
94 | |||
95 | To compile the i4l code with diversion support you need to say yes to the | ||
96 | DSS1 diversion services when selecting the i4l options in the kernel | ||
97 | config (menuconfig or config). | ||
98 | After having properly activated a make modules and make modules_install all | ||
99 | required modules will be correctly installed in the needed modules dirs. | ||
100 | As the diversion services are currently not included in the scripts of most | ||
101 | standard distributions you will have to add a "insmod dss1_divert" after | ||
102 | having loaded the global isdn module. | ||
103 | The module can be loaded without any command line parameters. | ||
104 | If the module is actually loaded and active may be checked with a | ||
105 | "cat /proc/modules" or "ls /proc/net/isdn/divert". The divert file is | ||
106 | dynamically created by the diversion module and removed when the module is | ||
107 | unloaded. | ||
108 | |||
109 | |||
110 | 4. Tracing calling and diversion information | ||
111 | |||
112 | You also may put a "cat /proc/net/isdn/divert" in the background with the | ||
113 | output redirected to a file. Then all actions of the module are logged. | ||
114 | The divert file in the proc system may be opened more than once, so in | ||
115 | conjunction with inetd and a small remote client on other machines inside | ||
116 | your network incoming calls and reactions by the module may be shown on | ||
117 | every listening machine. | ||
118 | If a call is reported as proceeding an external program or client may | ||
119 | specify during a certain amount of time (normally 4 to 10 seconds) what | ||
120 | to do with that call. | ||
121 | To unload the module all open files to the device in the proc system must | ||
122 | be closed. Otherwise the module (and isdn.o) may not be unloaded. | ||
123 | |||
124 | 5. Format of the divert device ASCII output | ||
125 | |||
126 | To be done later | ||
