about the project
The aim of this project is the development of Linux device drivers and user space programs for the Siemens Gigaset 307x/SX2x5 family of ISDN DECT bases.
The drivers connect the base to the Linux system, either through a direct USB connection or through one of the DECT data devices M101 (serial) or M105 (USB). They provide integration with Linux ISDN subsystems CAPI and/or ISDN4Linux for making ISDN connections through the base, as well as character devices for direct access to its AT command interface.
User space front-end programs provide access to the device configuration, journal log, and additional features like SMS.
current status (2014-09-28)
All drivers are part of the standard kernel. They support data (HDLC) and voice connections, outgoing and incoming, through direct USB connection to the base as well as cordless DECT devices M101 (RS232) or M105 (USB).
CAPI is the recommended ISDN subsystem since kernel release 2.6.34.2. It supports popular CAPI 2.0 applications such as pppd with capiplugin, Asterisk with chan_capi, capifax or jAnrufmonitor. Support for ISDN4Linux applications is maintained via the compatibility module capidrv.ko. For details, see the drivers page.
For support in kernel releases before 2.6.34.2, see the old kernels page.

| Gigaset SLX740isdn | Sinus 721 MMS (Deutsche Telekom) |
The Gigaset M34 / Sinus 702 data USB adapter does not work with these drivers. Its USB interface is completely different from that of the M105. Gigaset won't provide any information about it. As a consequence we are unable to add support for that device.
We lack information about other models (in particular, the newer CX 34x / SX 44x / Sinus 722 series bases) so we cannot say whether they will work with our drivers. If you own such a beast you are welcome to try them and report the results.
getting started
For information on how to get your Gigaset device recognized by your Linux system, read the drivers page or, if your system uses an older kernel release than 2.6.34, the old kernels page.
If you are interested in doing more with your Gigaset than just using it as an ISDN card for your Linux PC, have a look at the front-end programs page afterwards.
