Indeed.
I've found http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x/ project (suggested in Documentation/isdn/README.gigaset). This project supports your Gigaset M101.
Exactly. That's the one we're talking about.

You need something like this, right?
More or less, yes. Only it shouldn't be limited to three hardcoded line disciplines. Recognizing the name of any LD known to the kernel would be nice, but accepting arbitrary LD numbers will do. So how do we get there? Porting the OpenBSD utility appears as more of a hassle to me than generifying mine. I'd just have to rename it from gigasetm101d to ldattach, add a <discipline> argument, and adapt the manpage. If I do that, will you accept it for inclusion in util-linux-ng? How should I go about submitting it? Which subdirectory should it live in?
