New version 1.0 of CAPI for BSD

[Thomas Wintergerst]

Hello all,

I am pleased to announce the availability of release 1.0 of CAPI for BSD
(or short c4b). It can be found at
<http://www.nord-com.net/thomas.wintergerst/>. See
<http://www.shellbang.org> for more information about using c4b with
CAPI4Hylafax or Asterisk.

The main changes in this release:

- Support for the AVM B1 PCMCIA. AFAIK this is the first ISDN PC-card
supported by FreeBSD.

- New driver for ITK IX1 Basic, Octo and Primary. These boards were also
called Digi Datafire Basic, Octo and Primary, after Digi took over the
German company ITK.

- The firmware loading tools for the boards were rewritten to use a
configuration file.

- The startup script was replaced by several new ones. For each CAPI
driver there is a separate script now that will load the kernel module
and perform the download of firmware and configuration of the boards
found in the configuration files.

- Compiles under Amd64 (all but i4bcapimgr because of i4b currently not
supporting Amd64).

- Patchset are only available for 5.3-RELEASE and 5.4-RELEASE. Other
versions will need some handwork.

Have fun,
