system which is running Mandrake 9.2 although it has been solid for years,

'modprobe fcpci' which appear to work fine, ...

Interesting. I still have several AVM Fritz!Cards, but I stopped using
them after I upgraded my server because I could no longer get them to
work. I used to compile the fcpci module for kernel 2.6.8, but it
doesn't work with 2.6.18. AFAIK, AVM haven't bothered to produce any
new Linux code for these cards since July 2005 (even though they still
sell them):

Or, is newer fcpci code available from somewher else that will compile
against later kernels? Your message seems to suggest this. Are you
sure fcpci is loaded (lsmod)? I don't think the CAPI stuff will load
without it.
Anyway, I've since switched to using Cologne cards instead. You have
to compile some Zaptel modules for them. These cards are cheaper,
easier to obtain and work just fine.
Cheers,
Jaap |

Firstly, thanks for your response  )
I'm running - 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 which appears to be supported at ATrpms.
I built a F8 box, added ATrpms to the repository list, executed yum -y
install fcpci, which forced a kernel upgrade.

I have managed to get capiinfo to give a (the right?) response! Those who
are interested, see bottom of this mail.
I installed the drivers/kernel drivers from ATrpms (
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/fcpci-03.11.07-14.fc8.i386.rpm and
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/fcpci-kmdl-2.6.23.14-115.fc8PAE-03.11.07-14.fc8.i686.rpm).
I downloaded capi4k-utils from ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/capi4linux to
/usr/src, untared it to /usr/src/capi4k-utils and ran .\makedev.sh from
/usr/src/capi4k-utils/scripts , which apparently creates /dev/capi20
devices. (see -
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1274 )
TBH I have not a clue what I really going on to make it work, I have to run
makedev.sh after every reboot. I'm confused why I need capi4k-utils at all,
I thought isdn4k-utils was supposed to take care of this? which I had also
installed through yum.

Thanks for the heads up on the Cologne cards, if they work with just zaptel
updates thats probably the easiest method, although Fritz! cards are
available on ebay for about ?5!

Unfortunately, I can't test any of this since I'm running a Debian server.
It seems you're in luck to some degree. I downloaded these files and
examined the links within, but they simply point back to the AVM site
that still offers the old driver versions. I guess your versions are a
hack.

The Cologne cards aren't expensive either: EUR 29,- to EUR 35,- in the
Netherlands. I got one for only EUR 10,- recently. But even if the
Cologne cards are more expensive than the Fritz! cards, and even if I
could get the Fritz! cards to work on Debian again, it does indeed
sound like the Cologne cards a lot easier to configure and maintain.
Cheers,
Jaap |

Now, why am I not surprised? Actually, if I had known this back in
early December, I'd be following your advice and thanking you now. I
previously used these cards with Hylafax (and capi4hylafax), but the
drivers supplied by AVM would not compile for kernel 2.6.18 after I
upgraded to Debian etch.
It was after I ran into this trouble that I was advised to use Cologne
cards with Asterisk and IAXmodem instead; it was supposed to be a much
more satisfying solution. I can't agree more! Okay, I still have to
compile the Zaptel modules, but at least I no longer have to compile
the fcpi module as well and pray that the next time a new kernel comes
out I'll be able to repeat the process.
Or, do you think the AVM Fritz!Card PCI has some advantage over an
HFC-S Cologne card?
Cheers,
Jaap |

Hi,
we started with HFC cards and were upset, how many patches we had to
introduce in the source.
Then we found mISDN and we are operating an AVM Fritz-Card and an HFC card
out of the box
via mISDN interface. No change at asterisk's code was necessary.
Hope, this helps,
Michael
