3. Disable the hisax-modules by adding the following ones to /etc/hotplug/blacklist (sudo nano /etc/hotplug/blacklist):
hisax_fcpcipnp hisax hisax_isac hisax_st5481
4. Configure the dial-up account for my provider /etc/ppp/peers/isdn-provider (sudo nano /etc/ppp/peers/isdn-provider):
sync noauth user <username> plugin userpass.so password <password> defaultroute plugin capiplugin.so number <dial-in number> protocol hdlc ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote /dev/null
5. Add a nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf i.e. add this line to the file: nameserver 195.82.119.192 press ctrl-x to exit nano
6. Add my user to the group "dip" and re-logon.
