SNMP, MIB-II, rfc 1213, ifType is
              DESCRIPTION
                      "The type of interface, distinguished according to
                      the physical/link protocol(s) immediately `below'
                      the network layer in the protocol stack."

Possible values are

                          other(1),          -- none of the following
			  ..
                          basicISDN(20),
                          primaryISDN(21),
                          propPointToPointSerial(22),
                          ppp(23),
			  ..
                          frame-relay(32)

Now, keeping in mind the last discussions "IP over ISDN" 
giving ppp or rfc1294/Q.922 framing as method of choice,
a snmp-get can return

	20	indicating that a plain ISDN link is used
	22	indicating a synch. data stream over the B-channel
	23	indicating that ppp is used
	32	indicating that ISDN is used as access trunk to frame
		relay networks

or
	1	:-)

Comments?
