I am interested and I already planned to do capi for freeswitch.
But I cannot tell when I have the time... I hope the next 3 months will give
me some spare time.
Contacts to some guys who might help to start with the freeswitch interface 
and internals would be great.

Yes, since capi is a common API, it works with BRI and PRI and with every 
ISDN protocol, including QSIG (with extensions).
mISDN also has a CAPI interface, so this can be used then as well. And we 
also have remote-capi already...

I'm very interested in running freeswitch in an embedded system and I need
it to be cross-compiled as well. Is that already working?
Also, can someone tell if freeswitch (and the needed libs) are POSIX API 
comaptible?
