 Welcome on the list and thanks for the notice about M"net, Nefkom, and
Maxi-DSL.  In order to add the telephony part of Maxi-DSL to the
rate-de.dat, I would suggest placing a copy of the provider definition
(all lines from P:... till the next P: line) already given for P:89,2 or
P:89,3 below the P:89,3, renaming it to P:89,4, and changing the
descriptions and fees as appropriate.  After adding a line with "P:89=4"
to your rate.conf and a restart of isdnlog, the new provider should be used.

 This is just a brief description.  Depending on the expected accuracy,
there are some points which need a closer, for example, it will take
some work to reflect the Bavarian distance zone in the ratefile.

 The overall ratefile format is explained is explained in the rate-files
manpage.  The integration of your work will be easier, if you do not
edit the rate-de.dat directly but use the source distribution
(rate-de-eur-3.12.src.tar.gz) instead and place your modifications in
rate-de/01089 before recreating the rate-de.dat by running make.

 If you need further information, please do not hesitate to ask for it.

 Regards,
 Tobias
