Now, why am I not surprised? Actually, if I had known this back in  
early December, I'd be following your advice and thanking you now. I  
previously used these cards with Hylafax (and capi4hylafax), but the  
drivers supplied by AVM would not compile for kernel 2.6.18 after I  
upgraded to Debian etch.

It was after I ran into this trouble that I was advised to use Cologne  
cards with Asterisk and IAXmodem instead; it was supposed to be a much  
more satisfying solution. I can't agree more! Okay, I still have to  
compile the Zaptel modules, but at least I no longer have to compile  
the fcpi module as well and pray that the next time a new kernel comes  
out I'll be able to repeat the process.

Or, do you think the AVM Fritz!Card PCI has some advantage over an  
HFC-S Cologne card?

Cheers,

Jaap
