Hmm. i compiled the latest release (i4b and chan_capi) yesterday and  
tested it with the echo test application. The delay is the same as  
before.
When I call the server internal (My Phone -> ISDNCard(NT) -> Asterisk  
(1.2.4) (isdnd not running. cards set to TE/NT mode via "isdnconfig"  
command . The delay in the echo test application remains unchanged at  
about 250ms to half a second. (not measured, it's just my feeling,  
but i know the difference to the zaptel FreeBSD driver). My machine  
is a Siemens Scenic L (1.6Ghz/512MB RAM). That schould be enough  
power to get low latency.
How easy would it be to play around with changing latencey. Should i  
take a look to the chan_capi sources to get latency changed?

Does it also work with about 250ms delay? (it exists on both sides  
from my NT-Card to asterisk and also from the TE-Card to asterisk
may be that i did something wrong compiling the sources although i  
cleaned the BSD sourcetree applied the patches again an then started  
compiling the get a "fresh" state an no confusion with the older  
release which was installed before.
