No, it was a hypothetical scenario.  If AVM would allow it, the path to 
taking CAPI4HylaFAX code and creating a CAPIModem driver built-in to 
HylaFAX would be fairly straight-forward and probably wouldn't require 
much technical expertise on anything except for C/C++ skill.

Personally, I would have thought that AVM would have wanted CAPI4HylaFAX 
integrated long, long ago.  That way they're not stuck maintaining it 
and they can promote their product with "better integration" than before.

I wouldn't be opposed to assisting if not simply doing the development 
work for this *if* AVM gave us the green light *and* I had access to a 
system with the CAPI hardware and the ISDN line connected.
