The ISDN card is an Eicon Divas PCI 2.01 passive card, and some have 
pointed out to me that it has no CAPI support. 

While installing the CAPI drivers, I noted that there might be IRQ 
problems, even though it's a PCI card.
It shared IRQ with the primary IDE and the USB. I've disabled in the BIOS 
all COM and Printer ports, so I used IRQ 5 then for the ISDN card. (used 
the bios)

But I still have the same problem, that when calling out, it hangs up 
after a random time. All from 10 seconds to 10-20 minutes into the call.

My Asterisk shows me this:
    -- Executing Dial("SIP/57966-8eb5", "modem/g1:097167465||") in new 
stack
    -- Executing Dial("SIP/57966-8eb5", "modem/g1:097167465||") in new 
stack
    -- Called g1:097167465
    -- Called g1:097167465
    -- Modem[i4l]/ttyI1 answered SIP/57966-8eb5
    -- Modem[i4l]/ttyI1 answered SIP/57966-8eb5
    -- Hungup 'Modem[i4l]/ttyI1'
    -- Hungup 'Modem[i4l]/ttyI1'

I will post all my findings on my website:

so others can follow this nice software!
