[Asterisk-Users] FXO Cards in Australia

[Gonzalo Servat]

I've spoken to Guy. I suggested he takes a look at:

  http://www.junghanns.net

.. for the CAPI Channel driver, but after speaking to a few more people
I began to understand how they all link together and the CAPI channel
driver is not going to help. He knows about the echo problems now so the
ball is in his court.

As I understand it, there needs to be some Linux CAPI drivers written
for the NetJet otherwise the only way to use the card is with
isdn4linux. Correct?

Regards,
Gonzalo
