• AVM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver

Concept of the AVM System Drivers in the MS
Windows System
Windows 95 and Windows NT offer two communications models
with similar functionality: ISDN CAPI Port Driver and NDIS WAN
CAPI Driver. Both drivers are implemented in VxD technology as
Windows system drivers and are addressed through the Dial-Up
Networking application, but utilize different mechanisms and in-
terfaces / protocols in the operating system. Basically the same
transfer rates are attained in data communications with the two
drivers. Both drivers can be installed in parallel on one system, if
required.
The AVM system drivers make it possible for you to utilize commu-
nications programs (such as FRITZ!) via the Windows Dial-Up Net-
working application in parallel to CAPI-based ISDN software, for
example for dialing in to the Internet (see functional diagram on
page 11).
