Ok.

Well, if me merge the howto I would prefer a chapter like "External
ISDN-Adapters" or similar. The HOWTO is currently devided into 2
chaptors "Capi" and "ISDN4Linux". So a separate chapter about external
adapters would be3 nice, maybe with some background information abaout
the adapters, how they work, which types exists etc. pp.

Well, that's exactly what I mean ;)

Ok, maybe somebody can test your howto on a debian (or whatever) system
so that we can verify that.
So, please send me your Doocbook-Code (xml) if it is ready for publish.A
I will merge the 2 documents and add you to the list of authors.
Bye,
