Got a cheap ISDN modem with a so called Cologne chip for setting in TE
mode, with 1-S0 port.<br>
I decided to use mISDN because it is the <b>new </b>interface for
linux.<br>
<br>
My system is a Mandrake, sorry Mandriva, 10.2. already with TDM-400
card installed and working fine.<br>
I spent a few hours trying to follow the directions (as understood by
me):
<ul>
<li> Installed capi from rpm's. (isdn4linux, isdn4net, ibod, devel
libraries etc) <li>Decided to use the latest misdn sources,
instead of the rpms. Compiling was a mess especially with mISDNuser.
Finally used <b>install_misdn</b> which was a breeze and took care of
all headaches. (Make sure to edit the init script for mISDN to load the
appropriate modules and options) <li>recompiled asterisk smoothly,
which added chan_misdn.so <li>configured chan_misdn (misnd.conf)
and modified extensions.conf <li>Tested.
<blockquote> <li><b>Success:</b> in outgoing calls from an
analog phone, through internal digium card, using the ISDN line
(single connection to PSTN). <li><b>Failure: </b>in incoming
calls. Caller hears ringing but call is never answered. setting misdn
debug 1 shows that misdn sees the incoming call. why doesn't it pick
up? - wondered to myself. </li>
</li>
</blockquote>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
Following this, I removed all isdn4linux, etc rpms, booted and
re-installed misdn. Identical asterisk response as above.<br>
The chan_mISDN is correct when it says that mISDN does <u>not</u> need
capi - lots of the documentation (older?) go through the process of
installing capi libs before installing mISDN. So that is nice to know.<br>
<br>
Checked through my configuration repeatedly. Here it is:<br>
