The "CAPI"'s supplied for the ISDN boards are TSR's for MS-@#$ and are
not usable under FreeBSD.
Some intelligent ISDN boards have a more or less stripped down CAPI in
firmware, but these implementations have not much in common with the
CAPI specs and are provided to make the programming of the real CAPI
easier.
There is a CAPI 1.1 and 2.0 spec available for Unix, but it is STREAMS
based and - because CAPI is a spec to interface a particular hardware
to a programming interface - it must be written for every piece of
hardware.
So i doubt we ever get a CAPI interface for *BSD although it would be
a very good thing to have.
