The open-source diva driver (divas) does not support the Eicon Diva Mobile,
the Diva Server Cards are available only.
I don't know if the drivers from Eicon do support this card.
But anyway, I don't think this card is capable doing NT-mode.

The error 'capi not installed' just means, that there is no card/driver
registered which provides CAPI 2.0 interface.
For example the divas driver, just loading it (and divacapi) does not
provide a CAPI card. The card itself must be loaded with the firmware and 
started (divactrl load command).
