There is a problem with trusting documentation that is not written by 
someone in or close to the development of a software project because how 
does anyone else really know what the software is *supposed* to do if 
the developer doesn't tell them directly.

So it's probably not a good idea to expect completely accurate 
documentation about HylaFAX to come from Novell/SuSE because that 
documentation isn't coming from one of the HylaFAX developers.  (And 
herein lies the problem in wiki-like community-developed software 
documentation, too.)

HylaFAX doesn't care about the way that the hardware interfaces with the 
PSTN... be it ISDN, analog, or even FoIP.  What HylaFAX cares about is 
the way that the hardware drivers interact with software.  HylaFAX 
expects Class 1 or Class 2 AT-command interfaces on a device node.  If 
your ISDN hardware drivers provide that, then HylaFAX will work with 
it.  If your ISDN hardware requires usage of some other sort of CAPI, 
then HylaFAX will not work with your hardware alone ... you may need to 
use CAPI4HylaFAX or some other software in conjunction with HylaFAX.
