Testing the talk&surf CAPI driver
A CAPI driver enables fax and voice programs to access ISDN regardless of the make.
General information on CAPI drivers
You can install a CAPI from only one vendor on a Windows system. If your system
already has a different CAPI, you will see a warning screen when you install the
talk&surf CAPI driver:
u
If you want to continue using the other CAPI, simply continue the installation. How-
ever, you will not be able to use the fax function in that case.
u
If you want to use the talk&surf CAPI driver, first uninstall the current CAPI by follow-
ing its instructions.
