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.
