[Asterisk-bsd] Status on *BSD, particularly NetBSD?

[Chris Stenton]

Current state of FreeBSD port

    ZTDummy    yes
    X100P - yes
    TDM400 FXO - yes
    TDM400 FXS - have it but, but has not been tested yet.
    T100P - in but very alpha

You need some form of timer for meetme and IAX2 trunking. Other functions 
will work without a timer but perform more reliably with a timer.

I believe someone is looking at a netbsd port.
