How do you use an ISDN line on sparc 10?

Thanks to all who responded. The general consensus is that you need to

purchase the "Sun ISDN Enabler software". A couple of people suggested

that I would be better off not using the built-in ISDN port, but that

would require spending more money and I was told to do this as cheap as

possible. A few others questioned wether I knew what I was talking

about and suggested that the connector I was attempting to plug into

was really a twisted pair ethernet connector. Yes, I really do know

what I am talking about. The Sparcstation-10 is unique in that it has

both a twisted pair ethernet connector and an ISDN connector on the

back. As far as I know, no other Sun machine ever came in this

configuration.
