asterisk users - Jul 2003 - AVM Fritz! to connect LAN with ISDN line?

Hello,

Is it possible to use * as a gateway in the following setup:

   LAN (with Windows NT/Linux PCs) 
             |
        Ethernet (IP)
             |
  Linux PC with * and AVM Fritz! ISDN Adapter
             |
           ISDN
             |
   Someone with a analog/digital phone (POTS)

Basically, people sitting on their PCs will wear a headset, and whenever 
they want to call someone, they start a phone application (e.g. 
Openphone) and dial the external/internal number. This software contacts 
*, and * establishes the connection (notifying the local/LAN user, or 
making a call through the ISDN interface to the external number).

Additionally, incoming calls to the * gw are routed to the LAN PC where 
the user with the corresponding extension is logged on. (optional)

Has someone done this? Does anyone have a (more or less) detailed
instruction routine (e.g., what client software, codecs, ...)

Thank you very much,

		Achim

Sure. Works fine here with an Fritz!Card PCI v2.2

We use 

Cisco 7960 / kphone (SIP) - Linux / X-Lite (SIP) - Windows
                         |
                        LAN
                         |
     Asterisk on a Debian box with an AVM Fritz!
                         |
                       ISDN

You should use chan_capi, CAPI for the Fritz!-Card 
(available from AVM) and don't forget to turn SMP off
in your kernel. (Otherwise the AVM CAPI-driver won't
work)

Works like a charm with standard I4L drivers. CAPI may work better, I4L does
not recognize "ringing" condition for example. However installing
chan_capi
+ CAPI driver is not as straightforward as I'd like it to be, and
haven't
got around to it yet

Peter,

What problems do you have with the chan_capi install?

I am not a hardcore linux guru but it wasn't too hard to setup chan_capi..

Later..
