Hi Oliver,

I have now added a note to my webpage that this version of the AVM Fritz card 
does not work. Also I have added the words "recommended" and "not 
recommended" to the different ISDN device categories.

Currently, from the list of supported chips, I only recommend chips compatible 
with the ones from Colognechip.

I hope that will lead people away from buying those other ISDN cards for new 
projects.

--HPS
