[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk@home silly problem, please help!

[Junk Mail]

Hi all!
After much struggling I got my [EMAIL PROTECTED] working fine AND making use of 
two
AVMFritz!PCI cards. Really nice !  (kernel 2.4.2x)
There's however a silly glitch that's getting on my nerves, and, kind of a
newbie that I am to linux, it should be easy to get help :
-- capiinit start MUST BE run before Asterisk. (any other way makes * not
to start because chan_capi doesn't find CAPI support)
You must find this an easy thing, as I did. So I entered /etc/rc.d/ and
inserted capiinit start to start as early as possible. Also added some
lines of junk text so to see them going by as the system boots...
What's making me desperate is that the lines go by, capiinit is, in fact,
runned, and Asterisk still fails in the end.
I login and type my very first command asterisk -vvvc and it then starts
with no trouble.
Is this strange or what ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
M.G.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Initializing two ISDN cards in isdn4linux

[Junk Mail]

PROBLEM SOLVED  (read the rest)
Weird. That's all I did to get my two Fritz! cards working.
Only did the modprobe.
Er... that's really not enough (in this case, at least).
Asterisk will only be happy with the initialization when you can see all
four channels listed in the imon utility (from the isdn4k-utils package).
At that point you can fool around with /dev/ttyI0...3 in the minicom as
described in the
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+ISDN4Linux page and asterisk will be
happy.
Only modprobe alone won't do that !
Are you sure your * modem.conf is setup correctly ?
Yes, that's important. My modem.conf includes this :
group=1
msn=41
incomingmsn=41,2***4
device = /dev/ttyI0
device = /dev/ttyI1
device = /dev/ttyI2
device = /dev/ttyI3
I remember I installed isdnutils package, but only to be
able to see calls in /var/log/isdn/isdnlog
Everytime I started the isdnutils it complained about no
configs. So my guess is you dont need to fiddle around with
isdntool.
I still don't know HOW isdntool does the initialization of the ISDN
system, however, after fiddling some more with isdntool I found out that
it let's me write my own modprobe command.
That's how I solved the problem :
-- Ran isdntool
-- Selected ISDN-Settings : View / Edit
-- Selected Hardware
-- Selected Teles PCI
-- But instead of accepting the default modprobe prompted, I wrote the
correct one.
After this, isdntool did it's thing and I started Asterisk, who was now
answering calls on all four channels.
My experience is limited to pci devices tho, dont know if
you have ISA or pci.
Like I said -- two equal Teles PCI cards. One bought in 1996 and other
bought in 1998.
At a time I was about the throw out both of them; but now I'm tempted to buy
a used one from anyone who wants to sell.   :)
Thank you for the help !
Best Regards
Miguel Gonçalves
