</H2>
<P>Two mailing lists exclusively concern themselves with isdn4linux: </P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI> isdn4linux@hub-wue.franken.de
<P>This is the official mailing list. To subscribe, send a mail
to
<A HREF="mailto:majordomo@hub-wue.franken.de">mailto:majordomo@hub-wue.franken.de</A> with
<CODE>subscribe isdn4linux email-address</CODE>
in the <B>body</B> of the mail (subject doesn't matter), where
email-address is your own E-Mail address - check carefully.</P>
<P>Alternatively you can read the newsgroup
<A HREF="news:de.alt.comm.isdn4linux">news:de.alt.comm.isdn4linux</A>. </P>
<P>The mailing list can be searched using the server
<A HREF="http://www.dejanews.com">http://www.dejanews.com</A>.</P>
</LI>
<LI> suse-isdn@suse.com
<P>This i4l mailing list is especially for
the S.u.S.E.distribution.</P>
<P>To subscribe, send a mail to
<A HREF="mailto:majordomo@suse.com">mailto:majordomo@suse.com</A>
with <CODE>subscribe suse-isdn email-address</CODE>
in the <B>body</B> of the mail (subject doesn't matter), where
email-address is your own E-Mail address - check carefully.</P>
<P>This (and other S.u.S.E.-) mailing list(s) are also

<H2><A NAME="ss14.2">14.2</A> <A HREF="EN-i4l.html#toc14.2">How do I ask questions on the mailing lists?</A>
</H2>
<P>The better the question, the better the answer!
Write clearly. Noone reads an eternally long text to find
out what the question is. </P>
<P>First make sure that the solution hasn't already been written.
It's unfair to others and a waste of time when you could have
looked up and read the answer yourself.
See
<A HREF="EN-i4l-15.html#Links">Links</A> and look for a solution.</P>
<P>At
<A HREF="http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml">http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml</A>
you can search the newsgroup <CODE>de.alt.comm.isdn4linux</CODE>
for key words
to see whether your problem has been recently discussed
and solved.</P>
<P>Give your distribution and the appropriate version numbers
(e.g. kernel, HiSax). Also explain what you have already tried.</P>
<P>Give exact error messages, e.g. from <CODE>/var/log/messages</CODE>.
Noone can begin to help with (wrongly) self-interpreted messages.</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss14.3">14.3</A> <A HREF="EN-i4l.html#toc14.3">How do I give assistance on the mailing list?</A>
</H2>
<P>As often and as well as possible :-)</P>
