I just did the horribly unthinkable:
I rebooted the production internet gateway *remotely*, and:

root@...e:/home/andi# uname -a
Linux gate 2.6.23-rc8-mm2-gate #1 Mon Oct 8 22:14:00 CEST 2007 i586
GNU/Linux
root@...e:/home/andi# dmesg|grep BUG
root@...e:/home/andi# grep BUG /var/log/messages
Oct  7 13:07:40 gate kernel: kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:3485!
^^^^^^^

This 2.6.23-rc8-mm2-gate was ISDN-patched, obviously.
Oh, and isdnlog *is* indeed running, so this is a first check that
ISDN functionality seems to be up and running...

IOW, thanks!!
