-                Auerswald USB kernel driver
-                ===========================
-
-What is it? What can I do with it?
-==================================
-The auerswald USB kernel driver connects your linux 2.4.x
-system to the auerswald usb-enabled devices.
-
-There are two types of auerswald usb devices:
-a) small PBX systems (ISDN)
-b) COMfort system telephones (ISDN)
-
-The driver installation creates the devices
-/dev/usb/auer0..15. These devices carry a vendor-
-specific protocol. You may run all auerswald java
-software on it. The java software needs a native
-library "libAuerUsbJNINative.so" installed on
-your system. This library is available from
-auerswald and shipped as part of the java software.
-
-You may create the devices with:
-        mknod -m 666 /dev/usb/auer0 c 180 112
-        ...
-        mknod -m 666 /dev/usb/auer15 c 180 127
-
-Future plans
-============
-- Connection to ISDN4LINUX (the hisax interface)
-
-The maintainer of this driver is wolfgang@iksw-muees.de
