+capisuite for Debian
+--------------------
+
+That's my first non trivial package. If violations to the debian-policy
+are found please let me know.
+
+Using capisuite on Debian
+-------------------------
+
+  o I'll assume that you'll have a working CAPI capable card
+  o configure files in /etc/init.d/capisuite to your needs
+  o set run_capisuite_daemon in /etc/default/capisuite to 'y'
+    now capisuite daemon will be start/stop on boot/shutdown,
+    respectively.
+
+ISDN PCMCIA card users
+----------------------
+
+For PCMCIA cards it makes more sense to not start capisuite always
+on boot but let the cardmgr start and stop capisuite when the card
+is inserted/removed:
+
+  o install pcmcia-cs pkg that contains the cardmgr daemon
+  o remove boot/shutdown scripts
+
+	update-rc.d -f capisuite remove
+
+  o insert the card into the PCMCIA slot
+  o check new the cardmgr entries at the end of
+
+  	/var/log/daemon.log
+
+    to find out what script in /etc/pcmcia cardmgr call on insertion
+
+  o add /etc/init.d/capisuite start|stop to end|start of the the
+    start)|stop) branches in the /etc/pcmcia/ script

+TODO (high to low IMHO)
+
+o fix perms of installed dirs
+o split manpages out of manual.sgml
+o logrotate log files
+o add cronjob for cleanup fax/voice msg
+
+o split manual into capisuite-doc
+
+o Try to build on Debian unstable
+o limit arch to i386 just as libcapi20 does

+Description: easy fax and voice box solution for ISDN/CAPI capable devices
+ In the default setup CapiSuite provides a fax and voice box solution for

+ programming details like callback functions, data buffers, protocol
+ settings and so on.
