You can only use one Fritz PCI card per box due to a limitation built 
into the AVM CAPI driver.

However you can get around this by hacking the (binary) fcpci kernel 
module and changing the name of second and subsequent modules. I haven't 
tried it personally, but I think there are several people who are using 
this technique sucessfully :).

Just in case anyone is interested, AVM also say that you can't use the 
Fritz card and the B1 card in the same box. However I have found it 
seems to work fine provided the B1 CAPI driver is loaded *after* the 
Fritz driver.
