[Asterisk-bsd] 4.11

[Jeff LaCoursiere]

Got asterisk up and running on 4.11-STABLE.  I built the latest asterisk,
but the latest zaptel (.10?) is apparently for 5.x (it crashes 4.x!).  I
got everything to run with zaptel (.08) from the latest 4.11 ports tree,
though asterisk complains about it.  I have asterisk running on several
other 5.x machines with no problems so far.  On this one, however, I am
having very strange problems.  An AGI app that I threw together, which
does very little more than a few GET DATA and STREAM FILE commands, seems
to randomly skip playback, timeout on DTMF, and/or simply hangup!  On a
rare occasion it will complete normally.

I played with loading or not loading ztdummy, but this doesn't seem to
have any effect.  The only error on the console is "Wait failed (no such
file)" or something very close to that, when playback is skipped.  I dove
into the source and found this error in two places, but have not tried to
figure out why it is happening.

One more possible complication is that the machine is a four processor
Xeon.  I understand there is some flakiness with SMP and FreeBSD?  Or is
that just 5.x?  There are no zaptel interfaces on the box - intention is
to be a simple IAX gateway.

You might be wondering why I am wasting my time if I have it running
correctly on 5.x machines.  Sadly I am trying to borrow some time on a
server for a demo, and I have no control over it running 4.11.  I am
hoping someone out there has made this work correctly and can lend a hand
with some advice?

TIA!
