There are several ways of integrating ISDN channels in Asterisk. Out of the box Asterisk
! only supports isdn4linux (chan_modem_i4l), but there are 2 more powerful
3rd party channel modules available: chan_capi utilizes capi supported ISDN
! cards and zaphfc/qozap utilizes ISDN cards based on the HFC chipset. Both
! channel drivers are maintained by Klaus-Peter Junghanns
! <ulink url="http://www.junghanns.net" type="http">(http://www.junghanns.net)</ulink>
! and released under the terms of the GPL.
</para>
<para>
Currently chan_capi and zapbri will be the channel drivers that are described
! the best here because chan_modem_i4l doesn't give the best results.

most likely it will. Cards such as Eicon and AVM are known to work with
Asterisk. However it can be a bit tricky to get CAPI support working for
! different ISDN cards. Chan_capi only provides TE mode, you can only use it
for connecting your asterisk box to a ISDN line, not connect phones internally
to the ISDN card.

- In the past it was not possible to have a passive AVM Fritz card on a PTP
- mode ISDN line. You can now use the AVM Fritz card in P2P mode if you use
- the mISDN capi layer with chan_capi. You don't have to rely on a
- kernel-tainting module anymore. Of course it makes sense to use an HFC-PCI
- card instead since it will provide your box with zaptel timing and echo
- cancelation. The driver can be found at <ulink url="http://www.beronet.com/?PageID=3017"

! The AVM Fritz! card is quite interesting, since it's the only passive ISDN card where the manufacturer
! did mind to write CAPI support (binary though). This driver unfortunatly has one limitation:
! point-to-point (PTP) mode does not work.
! </para>
! <para>
! With the introduction of the isdn4linux new mISDN architecture and it's capi layer, that problem is fixed.
! chan_capi supports PTP on the AVM Fritz! card in that case and you even get rid of having a tainted
! kernel, at least for this module.

The qozap driver is for 4 port (quadBRI) and 8 port (octoBRI) ISDN cards that are also designed and sold by it's
developer. These cards can provide power and termination on the port for NT mode and do offer an internal PCM bus,
