Sorry for not responding until now. My imminent ISDN problem was
workarounded, I got access to a machineI could use for that. And then my
phone problem was finally fixed, so I again have a PC I can use for that.
But I will shut it down soon, it's too much of a waste fo energy to let it
run only for being able to use it for ISDN, and das server for CVS and my
Wiki.
I first thougt your suggestions would just adjust the permissions, and
that does not seem to be the real problem, but I tried anyway, and got a
partial success! The error message is gone, and capiinfo shows stuff.
Thanks!
But still, pppd call <peer> does not work. The system seems to be dialing,
I see familiar messages, but that's it, no more messages at all.
When I just tried that again, the system even hung, I could not even
switch to a text shell, I had to reset. I suspected this had to do with
multiple drivers being loaded, these are running after system startup:
weird ~ # lsmod|grep -i isdn
mISDNipac 17480 1 avmfritz
mISDN_core 78152 3 avmfritz,mISDNipac
But I just tried again, after removing all avmfritz and mISDN modules. The
last message I get is:
capiplugin: using /dev/capi/0: "" -> "022112345678" outgoing (pcli=...)
I removed all modules again, commented out fcpci in /etc/capi.conf and
enabled avmfritz, started capi. But then capiinfo again gives the "capi
not installed" message.
I'm not sure what to do now, maybe have a deeper look at the mISDN
project. Why can't these things just keep working? And even worse, they
make my PC crash, which makes trying around further no joy.
