I don't have the C4, but I have C2, B1, and Fritz out there, all
working flawlessly with chan_capi for * and capi4hylafax for
faxes. Capi makes it simple to share one device between multiple
applications, just configure the MSN's each app should manage, and it
just works. Haven't tried it with DDIs yet, but it shouldn't be more
difficult.
