HB_B1V30.book Seite 81 Mittwoch, 7. Februar 2001 3:19 15 The AVM System Drivers The ISDN Driver Model is the framework for all driver components of AVM ISDN products. The IDM describes how ISDN services are integrated and how they are accessed by applications. It also defines the transparent integration of ISDN hardware resources in the operating system. One of the most important functions the IDM makes possible is the coupling of existing communication components (such as RAS) with CAPI-based hardware.
