[Feedback needed] Support for ISDN passive fax cards

[Camaleón <noelamac@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am considering in adding a couple of PCI based Eicon Diva 2.02 
"passive" cards on a system running hylafax server. The fax server is now 
using a couple of external RS-232 modems that work like a charm but as I 
have a pair of unused ISDN cards I'm consider in adding them to the 
current setup to enhance the installation.

Before jumping in, I would like to get some feedback mainly on the 
current support status (and what could be expected in a future) for these 
devices in Debian, because the last documentation I've read on these 
cards (it was 8 years ago) pointed me to:

- HiSax (as the needed driver for managing the cards)
- CAPI Suite, CAPI4Hylafax... (as the "glue" to get faxing facilities 
over ISDN lines)

But now I see that HiSax has been deprecated in favor of mISDN and I 
wonder what's the current status of this driver in Debian, what kind of 
devices are supported and what are your average experience in using ISDN 
passive cards with Hylafax.

This is a European ISDN, meaning a BRI (S/T) deployment and I'm only 
planning using it for faxing, I mean, no dial-up capabilities are needed.

Anything you can share on this will be appreciated :-)

Greetings,
