-you shold plugin the dvb-card in the same machine, where the isdn
card are pluged in.

-than you should start the driver, e.g. make insmod in the driver 
dir

-than you should get a picture from N-TV at the video-out

-get dvbd2 from linuxtv.org
-than you should edit the line 15 in dvbd.h from:

 #define network_device "eth0"

 to
 
 #define network_device "ippp0" 

 if your internetdevice ippp0. Save and just type make in the dvbd
 dir

-copy the following file to /etc/dvbd.conf

-than you should start dvbd e.g. ./dvbd
-you shold get some verbose output, the parameter sync are
 important, where sync=127 the best value, say 0 = bad receive
 quality and 127 = very good receive quality

-do a ping to  glop113.europeonline.net e.g.
 
 ping  glop113.europeonline.net

 for transponder 113

-if you get ping back all should work well.

-than you should setup your proxy-server squid, if your box are only
 a router. If the box where the dvb-card pluged in your workstation
 or you have enabled masquerading for your network you can setup
 your netscape without squid. The proxy-Name is:
 glop113.europeonline.net and the proxyport is 8080.

-then you should restart netscape and type http://www.kernel.org
 into the URL line. Than you should get a login box from the browser
 to login to the EON Proxy. Everything should be ok. 

-for Squid setup see:
 http://www.zockbar.de/jargon/html/eon-proxy.html 

-for plugin in the card somwher, but not in the router see:
 http://www.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at/~ackerman/eon/eon_masq.html 

I wrote some scripts to switch between the 4 transponders. If you
get these scripts, wrote it to me, I will send you my config.
