Hi Remi,

I do run the chan_capi on my box at home and nothing is wrong with the
scripts or device permissions as is. Please make sure you use CAPI not
Isdn4Linux. You may aswell choose mISDN, if that's an option. Native I4L
support cannot be achieved through chan_capi but through the i4l driver
of the chan_modem.
