If the computer on which you want to install the FRITZ!Card USB
does not have a CD-ROM drive, you may copy the required software
to floppy disks for the purpose of a single installation. A VM does not

An ISDN-Controller connects a computer to the ISDN network.
The ISDN-Controller is connected to the S0 bus by an ISDN cable.
Data flows from the computer through the ISDN-Controller to
the ISDN BRI (basic rate interface), and vice-versa.
As an integrated services, network ISDN lends itself to a wide
variety of applications, such as Internet access, file transfer, fax
and telephony. Its versatility, high throughput and multiplechannel design, allowing the simultaneous use of different
services, place high demands on ISDN-Controller hardware and
software.

channels, for example. Data interchange in a given ISDN service
is handled by the appropriate data protocol. Both communication partners must support the same data protocol, such

Driver Software Functions
The driver software with its CAPI 2.0 interface processes the
ISDN line’s D channel protocol and provides applications with
all the necessary B channel protocols (X.75, HDLC etc.). In
addition, CAPI 2.0 provides the features SoftCompression X.75/
