Remote CAPI is already possible. If you have a server with ISDN cards providing RCAPI (bintec protocol) e.g. a linux server running rcapid, you can use Asterisk and chan_capi on a client maschine. A special (patched) version of libcapi20, but no ISDN hardware is needed. This special libcapi20 is available on ftp.isdn4linux.org. Authentification is not implemented yet.
