Dunno but wouldn't be that hard to add if not present, it's
just a few pppd
options after all.

You can edit a pppd configuration with a graphical editor
and use network
manager to handle your ppp connections.

Just like most other distributions and in-kernel: ISDN is a
border case,
probably only widely used in Germany and not a widely used
internet
connection method anymore (speak: broadband connection).

Putting too much development time in _analog_ fax
capabilities for ISDN is a
dead end.
First, fax technology is not seeing any improvements, the
successor ISDN-Fax
has almost no users but much easier to handle. With the push
of signing via
signatures and computer pen interfaces, fax is essentially
going away: send
an e-mail instead or go and buy an AVM B1 card with none of
those problems.
