Thanks for this reply. My collegue has filled in the requisition form so
maybe we'll hear back from them.
This is indeed for my work place. Its meant for use as a central
fax-server type of thing.
Are there any other alternative software packages that can deal with
this type of thing??
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi there,
A collegue of mine is attempting to install use a Diva server
(ISDN) card using Mandrake 10 official.
The devices (3 of them) are found by Mandrake Device Manager, but we
are so far unable to load the Diva server drivers from their website
(www.eicon.com). As they didn't have any mandrake drivers available we
chose the latest Redhat ones.
However, they don't seem to work as the config script blurts out
errors about invalid module format when it tries to insmod them.
What script? Oh, I see, you are asked to run a script after installing
the rpm.

mentions drivers for specific kernels from some distro's. Those drivers
are compiled for those kernels and will not work for other kernels.
You could try this:
-
If you require another distribution or kernel version, please fill in
the Requisition form. Your information will be submitted to a pre-sales
consultant who will be pleased to contact you to discuss your commercial
and technical requirements.
-
When you click the Diva Server for Linux - Version 7.0 download link it
says: Diva Server for Linux allows Eicon Diva Server adapters to be
used with the Linux operating system for SuSE, Red Hat or generic Linux
distribution and Source level RPM: Build Diva drivers or binary
RPM package for custom kernel from source code Kernel 2.6.X Support
so they suggest it is possible to compile the drivers for the Mandrake
kernel you are using. I haven't found any source code but I probably
didn't look good enough. If you can't find it either then maybe you
should contact their technical support. They offer Linux drivers and
some of their software is licenced under the GPL so they seem a Linux
and FOSS software friendly company :) Another idea is to post to the
Mandrake expert list.

also metions isdn4linux ( http://www.isdn4linux.de/ ). I have no idea if
that would give you fax functonality.
Has anyone succeeded in installing a diva server (ISND) card
software on Mandrake 10 ??
Any suggestions for alternative software to use ?? (the idea is to use
the card to send outgoing faxes)

mentions isdn4linux ( http://www.isdn4linux.de/ ). I have no idea if

An external (not USB) modem for a normal telephone line is the easiest
way to get sending faxes working.
Just curious, is this for your workplace?
Thanks,
Jamie
