Plannings for future releases
The ELSA AG in Aachen, Germany, is out of business. It seems that the
Neue ELSA GmbH will take over the
MicroLink Office products. In spite of this bankruptcy there will be
updates for KMLOFax from time to time in the future. Currently I'm revising
the printing system of KMLOFax. The next version will use the standard KDE
printing system.
The ELSA MicroLink ISDN Office and Linux®
Connection to an internet service provider
The MicroLink ISDN Office is an ISDN terminaladaptor
with serial and USB interface. It behaves like a normal analog modem with
extended AT command set. Thus the connection to an internet service provider
can be done like it would be a modem. If your provider doesn't support the
protocol X.75 on the B-channel, which can be noticed by the message
"NO CARRIER" after dialing, you can try the modem command
AT$IBP=HDLCP for modem initialization.
The USB interface
The MicroLink ISDN Office conforms to the Universal Serial
Bus Communication Device Class Abstract Control Model (USB CDC ACM).
Thus it can be used also under Linux® both with the serial interface
and through the USB interface.
Under Linux® with kernel version 2.4 it is done with the ACM driver.
The following kernel modules have to be loaded:
- usbcore.o (CONFIG_USB=m)
- usb-uhci.o (CONFIG_USB_UHCI=m) or uhci.o (CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m) or usb-ohci.o (CONFIG_USB_OHCI=m)
- acm.o (CONFIG_USB_ACM=m)
The MicroLink ISDN Office then can be accessed over the
special file /dev/usb/ttyACM0. If this file does not exist, you
can create it with mknod /dev/usb/ttyACM0 c 166 0.
Please consider the access rights of the users.
Fax-processing
The reception of facsimiles is done without PC. The received facsimiles can
be processed with KMLOFax version 2.1 or higher. The sending of facsimiles
doesn't work yet because the MicroLink ISDN Office doesn't
understand class 1 or class 2 fax commands. Alternatively you can connect
an analog fax modem to one of the analog telephone ports.
A KDE-based utility to configure the ELSA MicroLink Office
modem.
A KDE-based voice message utility for the ELSA MicroLink Office
modem.
A utility for the ELSA MicroLink Office modem with
HylaFAXTM.
A utility for the ELSA MicroLink Office modem with
mgetty+sendfax.
A command line facsimile utility for the ELSA MicroLink Office
modem.
