Getting Started with the DataCommute/BRI PCI Pro driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before getting started:

Make sure you have the SPIDs and DNs (Directory Numbers) for your ISDN line.
You will most likely also need the username, password, and telephone number
for your ISP.

1. Un-tar babylon-X.tar.gz normally and change to the babylon-X directory.

2. Since we're doing a semi-custom installation, we'll manually configure, make and install the drivers and utilities. So now run:

	# ./install

3. Continue with the installation script, answering the questions as they are presented.

You must now select the components required to use Babylon on
your system with your hardware.

When prompted for information, the values shown in [ ] is the
default and will be selected if you press Enter or Return.
For multiple choice questions, the CAPITAL letter choice is the
default.
