I am (very slowly) working on hardware support under NetBSD for the 
Digium TDM400P cards... I have something compiling but not yet working.  
(See previous posts on this list).  The one thing that _is_ working 
(FSVO "working") is the ztdummy driver.

I have been able to use IAX2 successfully under NetBSD and asterisk 1.0+ 
(mostly I use cvs snapshots).  I have not yet tried to use conferencing.

Asterisk compiles pretty much out of the box under NetBSD 2.0 and 
later.  I'm currently working (slowly) on creating a pkgsrc package for 
it, and on the aforementioned drivers.  Unfortunately the holidays and 
real work have gotten in the way for the moment, but I hope to be able 
to dedicate some more time to it in a week or three, and possibly to 
finally figure out the source of my driver problems.  Feel free to 
contact me off-list for more information and questions.
