<font face="Verdana"><small>Hi there,<br>
<br>
We recently did our first * install with CAPI and we found the levels
of support (and general knowledge) within the community seriously
wanting. In fact, we found things so bad that I would caution against
using CAPI unless you are feeling particularly game and confident in
your abilities to fix problems, as you are likely to find it very
difficult to get help if you need it.<br>
<br>
Out of the half dozen or so help requests that I or my colleagues
posted to this forum or to the #asterisk IRC channel, for example, we
didn't receive a single helpful response. Not one. Not that there
wasn't anyone who was willing to help, but there just didn't seem to be
anyone around who was using CAPI in anger.<br>
<br>
We originally chose CAPI over ISDN4Linux because of the commercial
support that was supposedly available through junghanns.net (CAPI also
provides a better feature set than ISDN4Linux, but we don't use any of
the additional features, so this wasn't a consideration for us), but
when we called upon junghanns.net for support it took them so long to
respond that we needn't have bothered (we had stumbled across a fix
ourselves by the time we got a response from them).<br>
<br>
If this hasn't scared you off then check out the documentation at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk/">http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk/</a> and the sample files/readme that
come with the CAPI source. There is also a fairly good configuration
guide at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+How+to+connect+with+CAPI">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+How+to+connect+with+CAPI</a> and the
CAPI readme is reproduced at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+CAPI+Readme">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+CAPI+Readme</a>.<br>
<br>
Drop me a mail at damian dot funnell at fff dot co dot nz if you would
like me to send you a copy of our conf files so you can see how we're
using it.<br>
<br>
Right now we are trying to diagnose a problem where the voice channels
over CAPI fall apart a few times per day, resulting in all external
calls having to be terminated. We don't know if this problem is CAPI
related, but predictably we haven't been able to find anyone in the
community who can help us figure it out.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Damian.</small></font><br>

Hi!
I can't find any instructions of installing capi and chan_capi. Do you know any
site with instructions or can you give me step by step help with this.
Thank you for your answers
