The way in which I use it is rather primitive. First start isdnd so that
it produces enough debug output, e.g.:

/usr/sbin/isdnd  -d0xf9 -f -r /dev/ttyv6 -t cons25 -l -L /var/log/isdnd.log

Note: there are probably knobs in /etc/rc.conf to set all these flags,
but I start isdnd either using a shell script or a bash alias.

Then I just ``tail -F /var/log/isdnd.log'' in an xterm. isdnd emits
a message for every incoming call.

There's also an option which can be set in /etc/isdn/isdnd.rc to
convert phone numbers into e.g. the caller's name, but I don't use
it.
