asterisk users - May 2005 - two isdn cards

Hi All,
i'm going crazy trying to make asterisk work with the following
hardware:

02:05.0 Network controller: Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN network
controller [HFC-PCI] (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN Board
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 16, IRQ 17
        I/O ports at d000 [disabled] [size=8]
        Memory at ec000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1

and

02:07.0 Network controller: Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN network
controller [HFC-PCI] (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN Board
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 16, IRQ 19
        I/O ports at d800 [disabled] [size=8]
        Memory at ec002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1


One card is connected to the idsn (external) line
The other one is connected to an isdn NT

i followed this how-to:
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20zaphfc%20install26
having in response no sign of life.
the software side is pretty straightforward but i have many doubts on
the hardware deployment:
1- the idsn cable going from asterisk to the NT sould be a cross cable ?
2- it should have 100 ohm resistors (if yes, where can i find the
schemes )?
3- do u know some better how-tos ?

thanks and regards
mike

If the module doesn't even get installed, or the kernel does not report
any card as recognized, you could tweak the initialization routines to
add PCI IDs for your own cards, and hope they work correctly.  If the
cards are recognized, there should be nothing to worry about: either
they work with zaphfc or they don't, modulo interrupt troubles.

Yes.  But not an Ethernet cross-cable, an ISDN cross-cable; there's a
pointer on the wiki to a page on isdn.jolly.de explaning how the cable
should be made, and suggestions about how to take advantage of a disused
NT.  I reckon that telephony folks call it an "ISDN TX/RX" cable.

Yes, the bus should be terminated (so the resistors don't have to be on
the cable itself).  A full description of the bus is in the ETSI
standard for ISDN layer 1 (www.etsi.org).
