We have added the following words to the KERMIT.UPD file, but we do
not have any verification that these items actually work with MS-DOS
Kermit 3.14. Could somebody -- most likely in Germany or Austria --
with an ISDN interface and a CAPI driver and an ISDN phone please check
and report and/or clarify? Thanks!
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) boards serve ISDN digital
telephones, which provide (among other things) 64Kbps data transmission.
ISDN boards are not serial boards, and therefore require special drivers.
There is a Common Application Programming Interface (CAPI) for ISDN
boards, defined by German Telecom and German ISDN manufacturers. CAPI
drivers are supplied by ISDN board manufacturers. MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 does
not support CAPI directly, but shims exist that allow Kermit to be used
with ISDN anyway, by disguising CAPI as the Fossil, Int 14, or Packet
Driver interface, all of which are supported by Kermit. Examples:
. cFos is a shareware fossil driver for CAPI, written by Martin Winkler &
Christoph Lueders of Bonn, Germany. It is available via anonymous ftp
from ftp.dfv.rwth-aachen.de:/pub/network/isdn/cfos, or by dialup to the
Zaphods BBS in Bonn: +49 228 9111041. It supports both the Fossil and
Int 14 interfaces, and presents ISDN controls in the form of Hayes-like
AT commands.
. PAPI is free software, GNU Public License, providing a SLIP-class
packet driver interface to a CAPI driver, written by Dietmar Friede,
Friede Consulting, Munich (Muenchen), German <capi@friede.de>.
Available via ftpmail to ftp.germany.eu.net (send email to
archive-server@germany.eu.net containing the word "help"), or by ftp
directly from ftp.dfv.rwth-aachen.de.
