It's rather easy to set up CAPI for a passive AVM card.
First of all, check, if your kernel supports CAPI:
# modprobe capi
# modprobe kernelcapi
If these commands return no error, your kernel is ready 
for CAPI.

This pakage is not relevant for HylaFAX

Yes

Install capi4linux from AVM (www.avm.de). 
Edit your capi.conf. There should be a commented ('#') 
entry for fcpci. Uncomment this line and comment
all other lines.

Then type 
# capiinit start.

If you have problems here, reply to me personally, because
it's a bit OT in a HylaFAX list.

Install capi4hylafax from AVM. Because c2faxrcvd is started
from init under RedHat and I think the libc/gcc deps are solved
correctly, it would be right to run ./install. (I did so on a
RH 8 machine).

You are asked for your MSN, DDI ....
Then "Save and Exit".

Check, if service hylafax is started at System-bootup.

Reboot you machine.

Test, if you can send faxes with c2fax*:
# c2faxsend -vf TIFF -d A-FAX-NUMBER fritz_pic.tif
(fritz_pic.tif is in the dir with the extracted 
capi4hylafax archive data)

If you have problems here, reply to list.


Have fun!

Sebastian
