Hi Volker, Sorry, the answer comes a little bit late, but better than never... Volker wrote: [...] > > 4) Fax blues: I'm using a passive AVM Fritz!Card PCI.

Hellmuth Michaelis is currently integrating my work on what I call CAPI for BSD (C4B) into FreeBSD-current. This package will provide CAPI support to kernel modules and user space applications. The first CAPI driver will work with AVM-B1, -C2 and -C4, -T1 boards may work but I cannot test it. As these boards besides the T1 support fax-g3 over CAPI, one may write an application using this feature. But currently there is no patch or something like that for HylaFax to support CAPI on BSD machines. I did some testing on the fax service, but only with a little test tool, not with a real application. Maybe someone is willing to adapt HylaFax to "CAPI for BSD"? If You would like to check out C4B, You can download the package and incorporate it into Your FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE or 4.7-RELEASE system. These are the only versions currently known to work.
