RE: Cannot get ISDN to work

Leah,
The call isn't connecting to the other router. You can't troubleshoot PPP if
the ISDN call isn't even connecting. You should wait to troubleshoot PPP
once you're sure that the routers can call each other.

Where did you see indication that layer 3 is trying to come up from the
output?
