Christopher and Alexander,

I followed your great advice.
Opened the Pc, disinstalled from the PCI slot the card, re-installed in 
a different slot (but at first it didn't work...) then again after 
cleaning of contact and magically seems to be on!!!!

Just to understand : if I issue
  /bin/grep eth /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
alias eth1 ne2k-pci
#alias eth2 hisax
 but (for Alexander) I do not see any eth2 (please compare with same 
command on your machine as per previous message.)

Now in lsmod I see:
hisax                 452444  1
isdn                  111328  5 hisax
slhc                    5632  2 ppp_generic,isdn
 and I could configure my backup connection by ISDN card (in case of 
ADSL failure)

I do not see any error during ISDN loading at start-up and in Hardware 
browsing my ISDN card is /dev/eth2 under network devices.

and this is the output of lspci command related to network devices:

00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)
00:11.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)
00:12.0 Network controller: AVM Audiovisuelles MKTG & Computer System 
GmbH A1 IS DN [Fritz] (rev 02)


But apart from Internet backup connection how did you manage additional 
application (in particular fax and voice)????

Tnx a lot (really great!!!!!)
