See Bug 608790, comment 5.
Summary: Configuration of ISDN devices via YaST is broken and won't be fixed
for lack of resources.
NB: SuSE's ISDN support is entirely geared to YaST. Setting up an ISDN device
on openSUSE without YaST is complicated and largely undocumented. Consequently,
leaving the YaST ISDN module broken turns openSUSE from a distribution
particularly suited for use with ISDN (which was the reason why I chose it a
long time ago) to one particularly difficult to use with ISDN (which is why I
am reverting this choice now).
NB2: I am well aware that openSUSE is a community distribution. However the
openSUSE community is obviously not interested in ISDN anymore. Not fixing such
a fundamental problem which effectively prohibits the use of ISDN devices was
really only the last straw in a long chain. (I may still be able to dig out the
bug numbers if you're interested.) I have enough on my plate with maintaining
an ISDN kernel driver in my spare time. I cannot on top of that analyze, fix
and maintain the YaST2 ISDN module all on my own, seeing that there's no one
left to even answer questions about its inner workings. For me, the most
sensible course of action is therefore to switch to an alternative distribution
which at least doesn't get in the way of using ISDN devices.
