[Asterisk-Users] Fritz, mISDN, Help

I big problem (for me) is that it seems that the AVM Fritz CAPI drivers 
cannot support more than one PCI card per server.  There is a hack out 
there for multiple cards and a 2.4.XX kernel but this is not supported 
for the 2.6.XX kernels.

mISDN on the other hand does support multiple AVM Fritz cards but I 
couldn't seem to get mISDN -> CAPI -> chan_capi working right (I tried 
for hours and I can't remember what exactly the problem was now - 
everything did load OK but calls were not being received correctly I 
think).  I didn't try using chan_misdn.

Now I'm running a solution which does not make me happy at all - I've 
got a second asterisk box beside the main one for the other AVM Fritz 
ISDN card and sending the received calls over via. IAX2 to the primary 
server (I shudder when I think of the waste of electricity).

Is anyone out there running two AVM Fritz ISDN cards?  Are you using a 
2.6.XX kernel?  How are you doing it?

Thanks,

Derek
