[Asterisk-bsd] Kim Culhan's FreeBSD 6.0 STABLE asterisk install notes

[William Lloyd]

You could contribute to update the port.  It doesn;t happen magically.

There is an early verion here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi? 
pr=ports/89877

It' doesn't look complete tho, so it's unlikely to be committed  
without more work.

Personally I don;t use digium zaptel boards on freebsd, so I couldn't  
care less the port is outdated.  the main asterisk port should be  
split into asterisk (for 1.2) and asterisk-devel to trace cvs versions.
