Are there any suggestions for active ISDN CAPI PCMCIA cards that are known to work with Asterisk? Thanks, Michael.
We use and sell the AVM B1 PCI V4.0 card. It seems to work well with asterisk apart from slight echo that I noticed when receiving an isdn --> * --> remote sip phone call.

This card is fully I4L compliant but AVM has developed a LINUX capi 2.0 stack. http://www.avm.de/en/products/hardware/active/B1_PCMCIA/index.html The Linux Capi driver you find here: ftp://ftp.avm.de/cardware/b1_pcm/linux/ Be aware that the Capi4Linux driver is distributed only as binary and especially prepared for Suse distributions. WIth some adaptations it should work with other distributions as well. Otherwise you should use I4L for this card. BTW. The Capi4Linux driver works also for the AVM Fritz which is much cheaper than the B1 device and supports full CAPI functionality such as G3 Fax. regards Olaf
Thanks for the replies. It seems that AVM B1 is the only active PCMCIA card that can be used with Asterisk. The kernel supports this card, so I guess that the driver can be built on non-x86 systems.

One more thing, just to be sure. Are these (AVM B1, Fritz) Cardbus cards? Nothing is mentioned on the web site. Thanks, Michael.
