Great. I have sent Armin an email already (before I saw Daniel's reply) to see if he is interested in creating a mod_capi. If he needs more info I'll direct him to the conf so he can chat with you guys and get a better idea about the project.
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.
We are very hardware agnostic and won't twist your arms to lock you into some hardware. We like to have options and the more the better in my opinion. Because not all hardware fits every situation. But if you're going to do mod_capi I would love to see US ISDN-BRI support also.
The current chan_capi is US/Euro ISDN agnostic. You just have to specify how many controllers/channels you have in the conf. Same applies to the drivers that need to be configured with the appropriate ISDN standard. Euroisdn versus US 5ESS for example. Eicon cards & drivers support both Euro and US ISDN.
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? Armin
