| Just got this off a Siemens page:
Problem
Unable to connect to a Hicom 100 E system using Assistant L via ISDN. The option ISDN under Connection is greyed-out in the Transfer object. HiPath 3000 Manager E can be used to connect via ISDN using the same ISDN controller (ISDN "Modem").
Cause
Assistant L only supports the CAPI 1.1 (Common ISDN API) standard. CAPI 1.1 was originally designed for the German ISDN network (1TR6). Because of this only ISDN controllers manufactured in Germany supported the CAPI 1.1 standard. By the time the UK market started using ISDN the CAPI 2.0 standard was out so most British ISDN controllers only adopted this standard.
HiPath 3000 Manager E only supports the CAPI 2.0 standard. Most modern PCI and PCMCIA ISDN cards only support the CAPI 2.0 standard.
Solution
The original German AVM and Teles cards supported CAPI 1.1 and also CAPI 2.0 so they would work with Assistant L and HiPath 3000 Manager E. If you can obtain one of these cards this is the ideal solution. You may have to check whether the current Windows XP driver still supports the dual CAPI mode as even Germany have now switched to CAPI 2.0. If this is the case the manufacturer may have an old Windows 95 or Windows 98 driver that supports the dual CAPI mode, if this is the case you will obviously need a Windows 95 or Windows 98 PC for use with Assistant L or a dual boot PC.
