According to <http://www.misdn.org/index.php/MISDN_Release_Notes> the
CAPI layer for mISDN drivers is entirely in user-space.  I suggest you
install pppdcapiplugin and see the configuration example at
<http://www.misdn.org/index.php/Capiplugin>.

(Note, I have never used ISDN and only learned what I know from fixing
bugs in various awful code that supports it.)

Ben.
