The Linux Call Router Project has added support for CallWeaver into the chan_lcr channel driver.

LCR is the userspace frontend for the new mISDNv2 (socket branch) ISDN (BRI/PRI) driver that is also now part of linux kernel >= 2.6.27

Shouldn't we at least attempt to create a chan_misdn2? Do we really have to have an extra program running to use the new mISDN stack?

Linux Call Router (formerly known as PBX4Linux) is very mature part of software to handle euroISDN. PBX4Linux started before five years ago written by Andreas Eversberg who is the also the author of the whole mISDN_dsp part. chan_lcr with LCR effectively is allready chan_misdn2. I understand your reservation to have one more software, LCR, but this is just a surface view to it. Because LCR acts completely transparent and only handle the ISDN protocol logic, the tx/rx audio stream from mISDN is going directly into chan_lcr. See the bchannel.c source.

chan_lcr/LCR is a bit like sofia-sip for SIP, dont reinvent the wheel if there is allready a mature part of software for a particular kind of work. Iam using mISDN now for 3,5 years in around 250 installations. And i'am sure you will agree that using this part of software is the way to go after you tested it.

Very good to read this. I had to switch from callweaver to Asterisk 1.6 (with t38 Gateway patch), because I only managed to get chan_lcr to work with my config. Now I finally can come back to reliable t38 faxing :)
