If you have high load and want to be able to fax over isdn an active isdn-card is preferable. Here in germany the cards from AVM are wide spreaded. Alltough the cards are not cheap, but you may have luck and could get an AVM B1 or C2 or so from ebay. > Are there any softwares out there allready that i should try at first? Any > hints?

For isdn (isdn4linux) the main software is vbox and you want to have a look at vbox2www. If you want invest some programming (perl, python, c++ or java) you may want to have a look at caiviar (capi-wrapper library), for answering machine and faxreceive you may want to have a look at capircvd (<== development stopped) further for fax recv and sending with isdn , you may be interested in capi4hylafax. (You need a card that provides a capi-driver like all avm-cards (closed source driver with wrapper-code like nvidia) (even the passive one(very cheap)), eicon diva supports too the capi-interface, dont know if there are others. I don't know what will fit your needs. I have a passive AVM-isdncard with the closed source driver, using hylafax + capi4hylafax and vbox as answering machine here at home. caiviar would be interesting to hack some perl ;-). Then there is a hybrid card the sedlbaur speedfax, which is a passive isdn-card with a sort of 14400 Faxmodem onboard, this card is supported by isdn4linux. Further there is a solution for fax based on capi4hylafax, hylafax, ldap for enterprise fax solutions. -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
