You can connect to the internet via CAPI and even have it dynamically add/drop channels as calls are setup/pulled down by other applications. As for how to do it I have no idea because I have no need for that type of setup.
It's not that hard to install and configure the card with capi. It's more that you may run into difficulties and trying to find the info required to fix them is a task. I'm pretty sure everything you need can be achieved through purely CAPI interfaces. There's a lot of info out there if you search for fritz capi ppp on google. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dkwok Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 1:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] OZ ISDN Kimble Young wrote: "If you go the analogue route: * You'll get poor audio compared to ISDN which is crystal. * Each number will act like a seperate line unlike with an ISDN card where you can receive two calls simultaneously on the same line. * You'll lose cool ISDN features like call deflection. * It won't be as reliable (speculation). * It'll probably cost just as much for two analogue cards as a fritz card. On the positive side you won't have to go through a lot of frustration getting the fritz working. In summary using an analogue adaptor on ISDN rather defeats the purpose of ISDN." You are absolutely spot on. I am hesitated by the sheer amount of configuration with the ISDN driver. The actual implementation is actually even a bit of complicated. The ISDN is used primarily for internet connection and voip from an Australian provider. In that case I need to use whatever driver to intiate dail up to the internet. Will it be isdn4l in this case. Now if and when internet is down for whatever reason, asterisk can still perhaps use the capi driver to connect calls. I don't have much experience in isdn at all. I am not sure where such setup can be done simitaneously. It would be nice if someone can point me to the right direction. The Telstra connection already come with Nt1 +11 modem and I have already got pretty good doc to set it up with redhat 9.0. So I don't have to worry about isdn stuff. I wish to go the correct route which is using Fritz card to do this but I am afraid it is not possible.
