There are also other differences; e.g. in Europe a PRI (Primary

Unfortunately, neither the NI-1 nor the 5ESS protocol have so far been
implemented for isdn4linux.

<tag/CLIP/
CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation) can be offered
by the ISDN provider. When you call somebody, then your telephone number
will be transmitted to the other phone.
The opposite of CLIP is CLIR.
In Germany, CLIP is the default.
