ISDN PC Card – 11 Implementations of the IBM International ISDN PC Card 81
11.1 Installing cFos
To use the IBM International ISDN PC Card with application
software that is not CAPI 2.0-compliant, IBM recommends
that you download, purchase and use cFos. For further as-
sistance with cFos, please see one of the following web pag-
es:
11.1.1 Introduction: What is cFos?
If you have successfully installed the CAPI 2.0-compliant
drivers for the IBM International ISDN PC Card, your system
is now equipped with the CAPI 2.0 interface. This means you
can use CAPI 2.0-compliant ISDN communications software
directly, such as AVM’s FRITZ!, Symantec’s WinFax PRO 9.0,
PC Anywhere 9.x, and many others. A list of CAPI 2.0-compli-
ant software products can be found in the World Wide Web
at
http:www.capi.org/cgi/sinfo.pl
However, many programs are not CAPI 2.0-compliant, in-
cluding AOL 5.0, the CompuServe 4.0 dialer and other appli-
cations. By installing cFos you can equip your computer with
a set of drivers that simulate analog modems, but communi-
cate over the digital ISDN line. In other words, cFos installs a
set of virtual modems which allow you to use practically any
software designed to communicate with a modem.
In principle, cFos inserts an additional layer between the ap-
plication you use and the CAPI 2.0 interface. It interprets the
modem communication program’s AT commands and con-
verts them into CAPI 2.0-compliant API calls, thus allowing
software which was not designed for ISDN communication to
use your ISDN line.
The CAPI 2.0 interface is not restricted to Europe – it works
all over the world!
