Firstly, thanks for your response :o)
I'm running - 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 which appears to be supported at ATrpms.
I built a F8 box, added ATrpms to the repository list, executed yum -y
install fcpci, which forced a kernel upgrade.

 I have managed to get capiinfo to give a (the right?) response! Those who
are interested, see bottom of this mail.

I installed the drivers/kernel drivers from ATrpms (
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/fcpci-03.11.07-14.fc8.i386.rpm and
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/fcpci-kmdl-2.6.23.14-115.fc8PAE-03.11.07-14.fc8.i686.rpm).


I downloaded capi4k-utils from ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/capi4linux to
/usr/src, untared it to /usr/src/capi4k-utils and ran .\makedev.sh from
/usr/src/capi4k-utils/scripts , which apparently creates /dev/capi20
devices. (see -
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1274 )

TBH I have not a clue what I really going on to make it work, I have to run
makedev.sh after every reboot. I'm confused why I need capi4k-utils at all,
I thought isdn4k-utils was supposed to take care of this? which I had also
installed through yum.

Thanks for the heads up on the Cologne cards, if they work with just zaptel
updates thats probably the easiest method, although Fritz! cards are
available on ebay for about £5!
