According to the docu the latest DIVAS drivers for Linux support CAPI 2.0.
I looked through the sources and Makefiles, and it looks like 
  a) capi is not necessarily needed
  b) should also work without KCAPI
     (at least there are lots of 'ifdef CONFIG_ISDN_KCAPI_MIDDLEWARE')

and the docu says that there are several modules, eg:

divas.o		the main module for the diva cards
divadidd.o	connection module between all modules in diva-package
diva_idi.o	makes the idi-command-interface available in userland
diva_mnt.o	for maintenance. Still pre-alpha and actually no need to use
divacapi.o	makes the divas driver speak capi
diva2i4l.o	adopts the divas driver to the isdn4linux components

What might be very interesting is support for the analogue/fax part
as ttyI-devices - also included, and some drivers for other hardware
(at least avmb1 and hisax) - to look at ;-)

At least the sources document the registers and higher functions needed
to access the hardware...

Holger
