Sending Fax via ISDN

Hi Marcus,

There is some work underway to provide fax support for FreeBSD over 
active ISDN boards from AVM. The base is my work in CAPI for BSD (or 
c4b). This is a CAPI 2.0 implementation for FreeBSD, providing an 
application and controller driver interface. Currently the only driver 
available handles the active boards from AVM (B1, C2, C4, T1, the last 
is completely untested). A version for 4.6-RELEASE and 4.7-RELEASE is 
available at <http://www.nord-com.net/thomas.wintergerst/>. A version 
for 5.x is in its test phase. If the tests pass successfully, the 5.x 
version will be added to current and so became part of FreeBSD.

The next step is to port capi4hylafax to FreeBSD. To my knowledge this 
work is currently done by <mailto:Volker at VWSoft.com>. I don't known the 
current state of this work.

I hope this information helps a little bit.
