I used the instructions from http://www.selasky.org/hans_petter/isdn4bsd/:

  fetch http://www.turbocat.net/~hselasky/isdn4bsd/releases/FreeBSD/1_7_4/Makefile
  fetch http://www.turbocat.net/~hselasky/isdn4bsd/releases/FreeBSD/1_7_4/Makefile.v1
  fetch http://www.turbocat.net/~hselasky/isdn4bsd/releases/FreeBSD/1_7_4/Makefile.v2
  fetch http://www.turbocat.net/~hselasky/isdn4bsd/releases/FreeBSD/1_7_4/new_ihfc_1_7_4.tar.bz2

I wasn't aware of delegation thru isdnconfig, never needed it when I built
my previous PBX with Asterisk 1.2 on FreeBSD 6.2.  After adding isdnconfig
to the jail startup, asterisk now sees the CAPI driver.  I'll connect it
to the ISDN line on saturday and see how it works.

Thanks!
