This is a compile time tested version only. With this C4B-1.1.1
compiles again HEAD (and I hope it would work as well). I had
C4B-1.1.1 running on RELENG5/amd64 and RELENG6/amd64 with older
version of that patch.

[In case Thomas reads this, do not include that patch as is, in your
  C4B tree. Send me private mail and we'll do the PRIV parts the right
  way.]

The above patch enables i4bcapimgr for amd64 as well. For that to work
you need I4B support on amd64.


I have used (an older version of the following patch) to make I4B
simply compile on amd64 and it worked well enough so that I could use
isdnd as a call monitor along with a C4B supported card installed on
amd64. I only tested with <4GB om RAM and no I4B supported card in the
machine.

This is a gross hack! Nothing more. If you want to try it at your own
risk, feel free. If anything breaks or crashes your system - you have
been warned.

You may report problems on freebsd-isdn but don't expect a fix or answer
any time soon.

Software is harder than hardware  so better get it right the first time.
