removed the misdn Makefile target from channels/misdn/Makefile in favour of a short howto install mISDN/mISDNuser in the doc/misdn.txt file. This helps to make asterisk completely compileable by non-root users

+It is easy to install mISDN and mISDNuser. Just fetch the newest head of the

-cd channels/misdn 
-make misdn

-Then all the necessary files are fetched from isdn4linux.de.
+the compile and install both with:
 
+cd mISDN ;
+make && make install
 
-Pre-Requisites
---------------
-
-To compile and install this driver, you'll need at least one mISDN Driver and
-the mISDNuser package. Chan_misdn works with both, the current release version
-and the development (svn trunk) version of Asterisk. mISDNuser and mISDN must
-be fetched from cvs.isdn4linux.de (mqueue branch).
-
-Please Note that mISDN works good for the linux-2.6.x kernels. Some of the
-mISDN drivers do not compile against the 2.4.x or older kernels, you can patch
-them, but than you'll get mysterious errors.
-
-Using Kernels > 2.6.12 works perfect. 
+(you will need at least your kernel headers to compile mISDN).
 
-Ok so far so good, now follow the compilation instructions.
+cd mISDNuser ;
+make && make install
 
-!! Dont forget to create the /dev/mISDN device node.
+Now you can compile chan_misdn, just by making asterisk: 
 
-Compilation 
------------
+cd asterisk ; 
+make && make install
 
-The compilation of chan_misdn requires a library which will be generated under
-channels/misdn/.
+That's all!
 
-To compile this library you just need to go into this directory and type
-make. Now you can go back to the asterisk source root and type make install
-again, which now should compile and install chan_misdn.
 
+Follow the instructions in the mISDN Package for howto loading the Kernel
+Modules.
 
+Pre-Requisites
+--------------
 
-Installation
-------------
-
-Chan_misdn is automatically installed by the asterisk installation process.
-
-There is a sample init.d script for loading the mISDN modules (mISDN.sample),
-simply copy it to /etc/init.d/ and modify it, there you can enter your cards.

-!! Forget to use capi together with chan_misdn. 
+You should use Kernels >= 2.6.9 
 
 
 Configuration
 -------------
 
-First of all you must configure the mISDN drivers. Each driver module has got
-an options and layermask option, which tells the driver wether to start in
-TE, NT, PP or PMP mode (there are lots more, please read docs in misdn for
-that).
+First of all you must configure the mISDN drivers, please follow the
+instructions in the mISDN package to do that, the main config file and config
+script is:
+
+/etc/init.d/misdn-init  and
+/etc/misdn-init.conf
 
-After thinking about the above you'll probably want to configure the
-misdn.conf file which resides in the asterisk config directory (normally

+Now you will want to configure the misdn.conf file which resides in the

 - misdn.conf: [general]
 The misdn.conf file contains a "general" Section, and user sections which
 contain misdn port settings and different Asterisk contexts.
 
-The general section contains especially a variable named context with which
-the default context is set. There is also the very important debug variable
-which you can set from the Asterisk cli (command line interface) or in this
-configuration file, bigger numbers will lead to more debug output. There's also a
-tracefile option, which takes a path+filename where debug output is written
-to.
